74 Sheppard: Yorkshire's Contribution to Sectence. 
In January 1891, the journal was published under the title of 
THE BritisH NATURALIST. 
This journal continued from 1891 to December 1894, four 
volumes, the last volume bearing the same title, but called a 
“New Series, and was edited by Joseph Smith and Linneus) 
Greening. 
In the third volume Mr. Robson informs us that during the. 
previous fourteen years he had edited The British Naturalist 
and its predecessor The Young Naturalist, and regrets that the 
publication must cease on account of illness. However, it was. 
continued by other editors, but only for one year. 
Volume 1, contains parts January 1891 to December 18o1, 
numbers I-12, and 272 + 86 pages.

x 4, (New Series), 298 pages, dated January to December,

A feature of these journals was the illustrated biographies of 
field naturalists.* 
THE NatTuRALIsTs’ MONTHLY. 
A magazine with the above title, ‘devoted to the study of 
Natural History,’ edited by R. Christie, and printed and published 
by A. Robinson of Bradford, appeared in October, 1882, but 
apparently ceased after the publication of its third number, 
for February, 1883. + 
THE NATURALISTS’ JOURNAL. 
In July, 1892, the first part of ‘The Naturalists’ Journal,’ (12 
pages 8vo), appeared, edited by H. K. Swan, published by Elliot 
Stock, and sold at one penny. By June, 1893, the first volume 
(144 pages) was completed. By May, 1894, however, we learn 
that Mr. Swan was not able to give the time necessary for carrying 
out the ‘great improvements contemplated by the proprietor,’ 
and the title page of the second volume (Nos. 13-24, July, 1893- 
June, 1894, 194 pages) bears the names of A. Ford and A. H. 
Waters. 
Volume III. continued for six months{, in order that the 
volumes might begin with the January number. In November 
Mr. S. L. Mosley was joint editor in place of Mr. Waters,§ and we 
learn that ‘in future the journal is to be printed in Huddersfield.’
