Sheppard : Yorkshire’s Contribution to Science. Til 
THE NATURALISTS’ QUARTERLY REVIEW. 
In December, 1905, was published by J. and W. Davis, of 
Dartford, vol. I., part 1, of ‘The Naturalists’ Quarterly Review’ 
(New Series, 8vo, 32 pages, 7d.). By September, 1906, No. 4, 
completing vol. I., was issued (128 pages). From December, 
1906, to September, 1907, pages 5-8 appeared, forming vol. II. 
The publication then ceased. It was apparently a dealer’s 
venture. 
THE JOURNAL OF NATURAL SCIENCE. 
This is referred to under the head of ‘ Hull Junior Naturalists’ 
Society.” Vol. r No. 1 (8vo, pages I to 32) was for April-June, 
gir, and vol. i part 2, for July-September, Ig1I (pages 33-58) 
appeared on November 4th; the publication then ceased.* 
Besides various notes on natural history it contained ‘ Photo- 
graphic and Philatelic Notes.’ 
SCIENCE GOSSIP. 
Though not bearing directly upon our county, Hardwicke’s 
Science Gossip, as it was familiarly known (being published by 
Hardwicke, of Piccadilly), was so persistently subscribed to 
by almost every naturalist, that it must take a place in our review, 
especially as many Yorkshire naturalists were contributors. It 
was a quarto magazine in double columns, was well illustrated, 
and appeared monthly. The first volume, edited by M. C. 
Cooke, appeared in 1865, and from then it regularly appeared 
until 1902 ; up to 1892 being bound in the familiar and somewhat 
gaudy blue cloth covers. Cooke ceased his editorial duties in 
1872, and was succeeded by J. E. Taylor from 1873 until volume 
29 in 1803. 
It was published by Hardwicke until 1875; by Hardwicke 
and Bogue until 1878; by David Bogue until 1882, and by 
Chatto and Windus from 1883 to 1893. 
In 1894 a new series commenced, under the editorship of 
J. T. Carrington, the publishers being Simpkin Marshall. In 
volume 5 Mr. Carrington had the assistance of Miss Flora Win- 
stone. This series somewhat abruptly terminated when nearing 
the completion of the 8th volume (1902-3), eleven parts only 
being published. 
There are very many writers who have made a name in 
natural science, who made their first contributions in the pages 
of Science Gossip. 
A Classified Index to ‘Science Gossip.’ Vols. I.-XII., 1865- 
1876, was published. 
RESEARCH. 
In July, 1888, appeared vol. I., part 1 of this quarto publication, 
averaging 32 pages with covers, etc., printed in two columns. 
* This was fully dealt with in Zhe Naturalist, March, 1912, pp. 66-68.
