EDITORIAL. 



Picturesque San Diego has unexpectedly been delayed by 

 the weather from appearing as early as looked for. Photogravure 

 plates are practically photographs in printers' ink, requiring a 

 sunny exposure in printing, the same as heliotypes and artotypes, 

 which are produced in a similar way. 



We have received a pleasant call from W. A. Goodyear, of 

 the State Mining Bureau, San Francisco, and another from F. 

 Stephens. 



An invitation to the commencement exercises of the Univer- 

 sity of Calilornia is received. 



Valuable publications are at han(^ from Prof E. L. Greene, 

 Dr. C. C. Parry, Dr. J. G. Cooper, Prof Josiah Keep, Messrs. 

 Edward Potts, Chas. H. Bollman, D. W. Coquillett, F. Crepin, 

 John B. Alden, T. H. Lewis, W. R. Lighton, Hon, E. M. Good- 

 win, Dr. Geo. Vasey, Dr. H. R. Ro,2:ers, and others. Further 

 mention of some of these will be given in a future issue. 



West Coast Shells will consist of about 200 pages, and con- 

 tain near 180 illustrations of our mollusks. We have not learned 

 the price, but orders may be sent to the editor. 



This issue is smaller in size than usual. The August number 

 we trust will 'make up.' 



Henry Willey, New Bedford, Mass., has prepared an 'Intro- 

 duction to the study of lichens,' with a supplement and ten 

 plates. Price, $1.00. Readers, send for a copy.
