IIo Sheppard: Yorkshire's Contribution to Science. 
January, 1890, saw vol. 2, No. 1, and by December, 1890, vol. 2, 
Nc. 24 appeared—the last page (without the advertisements) 
being No. 96. The journal continued until July, 1891, when 
vol. 3, part 31 was published, apparently the last. The large 
proportion of full-page Birmingham advertisements indicated 
its source. With No. 9 the London publisher was changed to 
EK. W. Allen, and by No. 20 ‘ Birmingham: The Naturalists’ 
Publishing Company’ was added. There is.no doubt that the 
journal was a wonderful pennyworth. Many northern naturalists 
contributed to its pages.

In 1890 appeared the first volume of The Field Club, edited by 
the Rev. Theodore Wood, and published by Elliot Stock. It 
was apparently issued in monthly parts of 16 royal octavo pages 
each. Generally it was ‘popular’ The names of many York- 
shire contributors appeared in its pages, and the magazine con- 
tained a record of meetings, etc., of various scientific societies 
in the county. One of the earliest articles is an account of the 
Huddersfield Naturalist Society and its work, by S. L. Mosley. 
Vol. I. contained 190 pages; vol. II., 1891, 190; vol. III., 194; 
and vol. [V., 140. With the final part of vol. IV. we find: ‘ We 
much regret to inform our readers that, with the present issue, 
The Field Club will cease to exist as a separate magazine. 
Arrangements have been made, however, for its incorporation 
with Nature Notes.’ 
THE FIELD NATURALISTS’ QUARTERLY. 
In February, 1902, was published the first number of a substan- 
tial quarterly, of 78 octavo pages, at halfa crown a part ; 4 parts to 
the volume. It was edited by Dr. Gerald Leighton and published 
by Blackwood of Edinburgh.* The journal was ‘ devoted to zoology 
in all its branches, botany, archeology, folk-lore, and all subjects 
worked by field naturalists and kindred societies.’ Many prom- 
inent naturalists were contributors, including Yorkshiremen. 
Vol. I. contained 340 pages ; vol. II. (1903), 365 pages ; and vol. 
ITI. (1904), 382 ppages. Nothing was published after part 12. 
THE NATURALIST’S MONTHLY REVIEW. 
In April, 1901, appeared Vol. I., No. x, of ‘The Naturalist’s 
Monthly Review of New Books, Publications, Records and Cap- 
tures, Sales and Wants, etc.’ The first part (4 pages) was not 
paged; No. 2 was paged 1-4; No. 12, for March, 1902, contained 
(including Index of Contents) pp. 73-80. The publication then 
ceased, and was followed by :— 
* Half way through the second volume the publishing was undertaken by 
G. A. Morton, Edinburgh.
