100 THE NATURALIST IN AUSTRALIA. 
There is also lying on the author's table at the present moment the first number 
of a new magazine, the “ Vivarium,” which is being started as the recognised 
organ of the Reptilian Society. This serial, as is notified in its introductory chapter, 
will seek to supply information of a more practical nature than has been hitherto 
available for those who make reptiles their particular hobby and desire fuller knowledge 
concerning the habits and treatment of their adopted favourites. While this earliest 
number of the “ Vivarium ” has been produced, through the talented energies of the 
Society’s Secretary, the Rev. J. E. Spain, of the Rand Rectory, Wragby, in a most 
creditable and artistic manner by a lithographic process only, it is hopefully 
anticipated that a sufficient number of supporters of the Society and those subjects 
which the periodical specially advocates, will be forthcoming to justify the early 
advancement of this magazine to the dignity of print. The author experiences an 
especial pleasure in directing the attention of those who may elect to adopt for their 
hobby the very interesting subject of reptile life, to the facilities and advantages 
provided for their particular benefit by the Society and Journal named.
