OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



From the Quarterly Journal of Science, London. 



" It is a beautiful periodical, and, as we road its introduc- 

 tion, we have great hopes of its permanent success. . . . The 

 leading men of science in America are amongst the contribu- 

 tors in the American Naturalist, and it is in every way 

 worthy of the great nation which it is intended to interest 

 and instruct." 



From the Round Table. 



"Another publication deserving more unmingled praise 

 than can often be awarded to so new an attempt in a ft'esh 

 field is the American Naturalist, the admirable monthly of 

 the Essex Institute . Ada|>ted both to scientific and ordinary 

 readers, it is neither below the one nor above that of the 

 other, and while the farmer may read it with instruction, the 

 lavman, if a lover of nature, will do so understaudingly and 

 with delight. For the rest the typography is beautiful, and 

 the illustrations abundant and faultless. ' '
