SCIENCE-GOSSIP. iii 



IMPORTANT NOTICE. 



SCIENCE-GOSSIP. 



CHANGE OF ADDRESS TO 110, STRAND, LONDON, W.C. 



WE have pleasure in informing the readers, subscribers and advertisers in 

 " Science-Gossip " that the proprietor of this Magazine has taken an 

 independent office at 110, Strand, London, W.C, at which editorial and business 

 arrangements will in future be carried on. This places " Science- Gossip " in the 

 unique position of being the only scientific magazine having its own premises. 



Would you kindly enter this change in your address-book. 



In consequence of the introduction of further capital, and the independent 

 position of the magazine, the readers will in future find considerable improvement 

 and additions in the literary matter. Those departments which in the past have 

 been especially attractive will be further developed. " Science- Gossip " will 

 continue to be the organ of the field-naturalist as hitherto, but full space will be 

 given, as has latterly been the case, to the modern aspects of biology. 



More attention will be paid to the physical side of science, including monthly 

 notes, and a series of articles upon new and useful physical apparatus, which have 

 been kindly promised by Mr. James Quick, whose professional position renders 

 him a specialist on the subject. 



Under these circumstances we appeal to our present large circle of readers 

 and supporters to assist in this improvement and development of " Science- Gossip," 

 by extending the circulation through new subscribers, or even by mentioning the 

 magazine to friends and acquaintances who do not already take it. 



As "Science-Gossip" has now an independent office, the Editor will be glad 

 to make the personal acquaintance of his contributors and subscribers, and will 

 for that purpose set aside the afternoon on Thursdays, from 4 to 6 p.m., at this 

 address, when he will be pleased to see any, especially contributors and readers 

 from the country, who may happen to be in London. 



The Editor begs to again remind the readers how valuable to others are 

 short notes upon apparently trivial subjects, for what are familiar matters to the 

 writer are frequently valuable though little-known facts. 



The Editor will in future, as during the past two years, have the co-operation 

 in the editorial department of Miss P. Winstone as assistant editor. 



110, Strand, London, W.C.
