The reception accorded the initial 

 number of The Atlantic Slope 

 Naturalist is very gratifying in- 

 deed, and we thank our constituents 

 one and all for their support in 

 the enterprise. 



Many suggestions — and suggestions 

 are always welcome — have been re- 

 ceived, one being that our little jour- 

 nal enlarge, and the other that it be 

 issued more frequently. The former 

 we have done with this issue, but the 

 latter it is deemed advisable not to 

 consider at present. 



The readers of the old Ornithologist 

 and Oologist will recognize in two of 

 our contributors to this issue, Dr. 

 Morris Gibbs and Mr. Walter J. Hoxie, 

 two names that helped to make that 

 journal famous. 



We regret to announce that the east 

 is to lose that well known ornitholo- 

 gist, Dr. Walton I. Mitchell, who 

 graduated from the Hahnemann Medi- 

 cal College, of Philadelphia, on May 

 14. Dr. Mitchell expects to shortly 

 return to his home in Minnesota.

The cage will be fitted up w

 that time, in 1868, was for a s 

 time professor of Chemistry and 

 icology m the old Homoeopathic 1 

 ical College of Pennsylvania. 



There are some exceedingly s 

 ling, illogical, and humorous d<| 

 tions being made at present relj 

 to the human osseous remains ij 

 near Lansing, Kansas, last year, 

 haps, after all, this Lansing man; 

 have been the individual who

 ago, which were so thoroughly 

 asunder by the late Major J 

 Powell.
