Sheppard: Yorkshire’s Contribution to Science. 73 
was edited by Mr. Percy Lund, and printed and published* by 
Percy Lund and Co., at the County Press, Ilkley. It was a small 
4to, with double columns, and illustrated; there were 16 pages 
a month, and the first page of each issue was numbered and 
dated. The first volume contained 216 pages in all. Vol. II. 
(Nos. 13-24), 1885, 236 pages; vol. III. (Nos. 25-36), 1886, 220 
pages; and vol. IV. (Nos. 37-48), January to December, 1887, 
208 pages. With this volume appears the usual epitaph : ‘ With 
its fourth volume, The Naturalists’ World ceases publication, 
This step has been taken because it has been found impossible 
to render it a pecuniary success.’ 
When it commenced, The Naturalists’ World had a largely 
‘Yorkshire’ character, and many contributors to our own journal 
wrote also for it. The very first article in the first number was 
by our old friend the late Rev. W. C. Hey, on ‘Shells.’ J. W. 
Davis followed on ‘ Geological Evolution.’ The late William West 
commenced the second part with ‘ Plant Gossip.’ Among other 
familiar names in these early parts we notice W. J. Clarke, P. F. 
Lee, J. E. Wilson, W. H. Hutton, T. D. A. Cockerell, H. Wallis 
Kew, and W. D. Roebuck.
