  include 
  the 
  subject 
  matter 
  and 
  authors' 
  index 
  in 
  a 
  single 
  vocabu- 
  

   lary. 
  Various 
  methods 
  have 
  been 
  employed 
  to 
  insure 
  the 
  maxi- 
  

   mum 
  degree 
  of 
  conciseness, 
  as 
  in 
  printing 
  the 
  titles 
  belonging 
  to 
  a 
  

   single 
  subject 
  in 
  one 
  paragraph, 
  clearness 
  being 
  attained 
  by 
  the 
  

   use 
  of 
  heavy-faced 
  type 
  for 
  the 
  volume 
  number. 
  Other 
  points 
  

   may 
  be 
  noted, 
  thus 
  references 
  to 
  the 
  different 
  Acids 
  are 
  brought 
  

   together 
  under 
  the 
  single 
  word, 
  sub-divided, 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  practicable; 
  

   upwards 
  of 
  twenty 
  pages 
  are 
  required 
  for 
  this 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  

   work. 
  The 
  titles 
  of 
  reviews 
  and 
  notices 
  of 
  books 
  are 
  also 
  

   grouped 
  together 
  under 
  " 
  Books," 
  which 
  cover 
  some 
  thirty-six 
  

   pages 
  ; 
  in 
  addition, 
  the 
  author's 
  name 
  in 
  each 
  case 
  appears 
  in 
  the 
  

   vocabulary 
  independently. 
  Numerous 
  cross 
  references 
  have 
  been 
  

   inserted 
  which 
  will 
  insure 
  a 
  prompt 
  finding 
  of 
  the 
  subject 
  desired. 
  

   All 
  those 
  interested, 
  particularly 
  in 
  chemistry 
  and 
  chemical 
  

   industry, 
  will 
  be 
  grateful 
  to 
  the 
  management 
  of 
  Chemical 
  News 
  

   for 
  bringing 
  to 
  completion 
  this 
  great 
  work.

  In

  of

  British 
  Ecolog- 
  

   ical 
  Society, 
  it 
  will 
  endeavor 
  to 
  foster 
  and 
  promote 
  in 
  all 
  ways 
  

   the 
  study 
  of 
  ecology 
  in 
  these 
  islands. 
  In 
  the 
  second 
  place 
  it 
  will 
  

   endeavor 
  to 
  present, 
  by 
  critical 
  articles 
  and 
  reviews, 
  by 
  full 
  notices 
  

   of 
  recent 
  ecological 
  publications, 
  and 
  by 
  full 
  lists 
  of 
  current 
  eco- 
  

   logical 
  literature, 
  a 
  record 
  of 
  and 
  commentary 
  on 
  the 
  progress 
  of 
  

   ecology 
  throughout 
  the 
  world."

  ecological
