PROPOSED 



General Index to the 'Zoologist.' 



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

 is proposed to prepare and publish a General Index to the ">^ 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 eipense, it cannot be undertaken unless a certain proportion of the 

 cost he previously guaranteed by intending subscribers. At least 200 copi 

 61 each, should be ordered in advani the work can he corarnerj 



it is for naturalis ts to show the need there is for the work by expressing their 

 willingness to subscribe for it. Subscriptions are invited for more than a single 



copy. 



Names are now being received by Messrs. West, Newman ,V Co., ■> 1, Hatton 



Garden, E.C.
