THE Palseontographical Society was established in the year 1847, 

 for the purpose of figuring and describing the whole of the 

 British fossils. Each person subscribing One Guinea is considered 

 a Member of the Society, and is entitled to the Volume issued for the 

 year to which the subscription relates. 



Surely this is a Society that has the highest possible claims upon 

 the consideration of every geologist, who must, as a matter of course, 

 be deeply interested in the past Life-history of the Earth whose 

 crust he is bound, hammer in hand, to explore, 



It seems rather surprising that only 475 Members should at present 

 be found willing to subscribe an annual guinea for so grand a publi- 

 cation, one which, in a mere mercantile sense, is richly worth two guineas, 

 in a scientific point of view, would be cheap at four guineas a year ! 



The following is a summary of the contents of the last seven 

 volumes issued : —
