PREP AG HE. 
THE Editors cannot allow the present occasion to pass without 
direct reference to the irreparable and exceptionally serious 
loss which this journal sustains by the death of Mr. John 
Cordeaux, whose valuable papers and notes continued to 
appear down to the date of his decease. His own complete 
bibliography of his own papers is in hand, and when revised 
will be printed in this journal. 
They have to thank their contributors for the articles 
and notes they have contributed during the year, and their 
subscribers for much-appreciated support. A considerable 
increase in the latter respect is, however, urgently needed, 
to allow of the enlargement of the journal, in order to cope 
with the large amount of high-class matter available for 
publication.
