PROPOSED 



General Index to the 'Zoologist.' 



In accordance with an urgent wish expressed by many working zoologists, it 

 is proposed to prepare and publish a General Index to the 88 volumes of 'The 

 Zoologist,' ending with the volume for 1880. 



This Index will be compiled by a working naturalist, not from the annual 

 Indices issued with each volume, but from the pages de novo, so as to ensure 

 perfect accuracy and completeness, and will contain cross-references, and indicate 

 localities. 



As the preparation and printing of such an Index will necessarily entail 

 considerable expense, it cannot be undertaken unless a certain proportion of the 

 cosl lie previously guaranteed by intending subscribers. At least 200 copies, ai 

 61 each, should be ordered in advauoe before the work can be commenced, and it 

 is for naturalists to show the need there is for the work by expressing their 

 willingness to subscribe for it. 



Name- are n,,w being received by Messrs. West, Newman & Co., 54, Hatton 

 Garden, E.<
