A PLAINLY WORDED BIOLOGICAL QUARTERLY. 



Vol. I. No. 3. MAY, 1894. 



OUE PEOGEESS AND OUE PEOGBAMME. 



NOW that six months have elapsed from the inception of our 

 venture, we are in a fairly good position to assess the measure 

 of success that has rewarded our efforts. In the number of subscribers 

 gained, our expectations have been immensely surpassed, and we are 

 proud to say that our little Journal penetrates everywhere in Britain 

 where Zoology and Microscopy find votaries. In size, the Journal 

 has expanded from the 16 to 24 pp. promised in the prospectus, into 

 a minimum of 28 pp. which too we shall expand to 32 or more, if 

 each of our subscribers will but help us by prevailing upon a friend 

 to remit us the sum of 3/4 as one year's subscription. And in this 

 connection we may point out that increase of size has necessitated 

 the raising of the price to 10d., including too, the back numbers — 

 but then we make no additional charge for postage on any numbers 

 forwarded from the Jersey office. 



We wish also to bring before the notice of our friends, the fact 

 that we have further aims than simply to produce a useful scientific 

 magazine. Through the medium of our Marine Biological Station at 

 Jersey, we have certain public duties to perform, in the facilitating 

 of the practical study on the spot, of marine life. Our laboratories, 

 established last year, have had considerable measure of support. The 

 following, among others, have rented compartments for longer or 

 shorter periods, or have had instruction in the preservation of marine 



animals, viz : — 



Miss Eva Hooper, London. 



Miss Ward, Ladies' College, Jersey. 



Mr. F. Borrow, Medical School, St. Bartholomew's Hospital. 



Mr. H. Burrows, Medical School, St. Bartholomew's Hospital. 



Mr. E. S. Goodrich, Dept. of Comp. Anatomy, Oxford. 



Mr. D. Houston, Director of Biological Instruction, Essex County Council. 



Mr. R. Paulson, Sec. Toynbee Hall Nat. Hist. Soc. and several members of same 



Society. 

 Mr. W. G. Ridewood, Br. Museum (Nat. History). 

 Dr. E. Marett Tims, Medical School, Westminster Hospital. 

 Mr. E. H. L. Schwarz, Royal College of Science, London. 

 Mr. Hv. Scherren, F.Z.S., London. 

 Mr. W. H. Unthank, Birkbeck Institute, London. 



Several of the above have followed out a wide course of dis- 

 section with the view to qualifying in the higher exams in Zoology
