pages 1-2.’ Further numbers contain parts of volumes in the 
same way, up to vol. XXVII., ‘the Farm.’ Apparently, had all 
gone well the parts should have been taken out and eventually 
bound up into volumes, but as only 12 parts of this new series 
appear to have been published, this was not done. 
Each part averaged 16 variously numbered pages, contained 
coloured and other plates, and was sold at 6d. . 
NATURALIST NOTES. 
In June 1894, appeared an octavo magazine with the SDBNE 
title, being “A monthly record of local ord scientific natural 
history observations, published under the auspices of the Malton 
Field Naturalists’ and Scientific Society.’ Thirteen parts of 
eight pages each appeared at the price of 1d. each. At the 
completion of this volume the parts were bound together and sold 
in one volume at Is. 
In July 1895, apparently the same publication was continued 
for another thirteen months, but, though styled volume II. (parts 
14 to 25) and vol. III., No. 26, the heading was altered to 
NORTH AND EAST YORKSHIRE SCIENCE NOTES, 
From an editorial it seemed that it was considered that ‘ the 
word “science ’”’ takes in a wider scope of objects and subjects than 
the word naturalist, and the scientific man must above all things 
be consistent and have everything in apple-pie order.’ Under 
the new name, however, only thirteen parts were issued and the 
Malton publication ended its career with the twenty-sixth issue 
since it started as ‘ Naturalists’ Notes.’ However, the little 
magazine contains many interesting records relating to the 
Malton district. 
THE NATURAL HISTORY JOURNAL. 
This little magazine was started in York in 1877, and was 
“conducted by the Societies’ of Friends’ Schools.’ From its 
commencement to the year before its close it was edited by Mr. 
J. E. Clark, sometimes with assistance. 
It was an 8vo magazine, frequently illustrated, and there were 
on, an average over 200 pages to the volume. 
It commenced in February 1877, and in December of the same 
year completed its first volume (160 pages). Then, regularly for 
twenty-two years, its parts were published, and were bound up 
in the well-known green cloth covers, the final part (No. 198) 
being published in December, 1898. Nine parts were published 
each year, none appearing in the months of January, July and 
August, owing to vacation. 
Though primarily intended for the scholars attending the 
Friends’ Schools, where, as we well know, a strong feature is 
made of the study of natural history, the volumes contain many 
interesting and important records referring to the county.
