134 Sheppard: Yorkshire's Contribution to Science. 
of this journal, and more especially on the removal from Doncaster 
of the printer hitherto employed, it has become SSRN to 
enquire into the expediency of discontinuing the work.... The 
result of this enquiry has been that the expenses of the - magazine 
stillso greatly exceed the receipts, as to compel the relinquishment 
of the undertaking.’ 
Neville Wood dedicated his first volume (i.e., Vol. 2 of the 
series) to Edwin Lees; the next to J. W. Childers, of Cantley 
Hall, Yorks. ; and his next to Charles Waterton, of Walton Hall, 
Yorks. 
THE NATURALIST (SECOND SERIES). 
In 1851 another series of The Naturalist ‘a popular monthly 
magazine, illustrative of the animal, vegetable, and mineral 
kingdoms,’ appeared, and reached eight annual volumes. The 
first five volumes were edited by Beverley R. Morris, of York,* 
the remaining three by F. O. Morris, of British Birds fame, also 
a Yorkshireman. 
The first number (1851) contains the account of a meeting of 
the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Club, which ‘met as usual at Mr. 
Graham’s, in Lubbergate, York.’ There were present D. Ferguson 
of Redcar, F. Gibbes of Northallerton, Baines, Charlesworth, 
Dr. Morris, T. Allis, Richardson, and Graham. 
There are many well-known names among the contributors 
to-this series, such as Thomas Edwards, T. Foggitt, J. H. Gurney, 
the two Morris’s, T. G. Bonney, C. W aterton, T. Southwell, 
F. M. Burton, H. eS A. Strickland, a Denny, A. M.

THE NATURALIST (THIRD SERIES). 
In Huddersfield, in May, 1864, was published part I. of The 
Naturalist, a sensible Svo publication ; all subsequent issues 
have adhered to this size, and have not fallen a victim to the 
prevalent craze for enlarging the size of the pages. 
The second title of the publication was ‘ Journal of the West 
Riding Consolidated Naturalists’ Society [the predecessors of 
our Union], and manual of Exchange in all Departments of 
Natural History. With which is incorporated the Entomolo- 
gists’ Journal.’ 
No editors’ names appear, but it was edited by our old friends, 
C. P. Hobkirk, and Geo. Tindall: the latter being the printer and 
publisher. 
* T notice in the part for January, 1854, ‘letters, etc., are to be addressed 
to Beverley R. Morris, Esa., M.D., Driffield.’
