POSTSCRIPT TO THE THIRTIETH NUMBER OF THE 

 CALCUTTA JOURNAL OF NATURAL HISTORY. 



However well a Journal may be supported as to the 

 number and talent of its editorial staff, yet it is necessary, 

 that some one resident at the place where it is published, 

 should take the trouble of superintending the details of 

 printing and publication. 



Some uncertainty having existed during the past few 

 months as to how far the present managing Editor might be 

 enabled to continue the personal superintendence of the work, 

 it has consequently been allowed to fall slightly into arrears. 

 Under these circumstances it is thought necessary to bring 

 the series to a close with the present number. Should cir- 

 cumstances allow of the renewal of another series, nothing 

 would afford the managing Editor more pleasure than again 

 lending his aid to the undertaking, and once more co-operat- 

 ing with his colleagues, to whom the credit and usefulness 

 of the Journal has, of late, been entirely due. 



Calcutta : 7th February, 1848.
