 might with great advantage have been put together.

EDITOR'S NOTES. 



On completing another volume the Editor tenders his grateful thanks to all 

 who have in any way furthered the interests of the Journal, during 1902. 



During the year the number of subscribers has slightly increased, which 

 has enabled mz to continue the illustrations as heretofore, and will, I hope, 

 permit of a further increase during 1903. 



In maintaining and furthering the value and usefulness of the Journal, the 

 Editor trusts i:> the co-operation of all subscribers.
