THE WEST AMERICAN SCIENTIST 



A Popular Review and Record for the , Pacific Coyst. 

 The oldest scientific magazine wes't of the Mississippi. 



CONTENTS: 

 FLORA OP CALIFORNIA AND PARTS ADJACENT: — Descriptions of all 

 the known plants of California and of Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, 

 and Baja (Lower) California, with references to the literature, syn- 

 onymy, geographical distribution, economic notes, and other informa- 

 tion, compiled from all available sources. 



PROSPECTUS: — It is our plan to devote several volumes to the review of 

 the botany of California, which, when completed will form a full his- 

 tory of our plant life as far as known. This will probably consume at 

 least five years, and requires the co-operation of every botanist inter- 

 ested in the subject. We also desire agents in every part of the state, 

 to secure subscribers to the work. 



NOTE:— Volume 20 was issued as Molluscan World, Volume I, in 1915. 



Price of this volume of 270 pages, describing about 400 genera and species 



of West American Mollusca, unbound, $3.00, postpaid. The index, issued 



separately at 5 cents, unbound, forms a check-list of over 3000 names of 



West American Mollusca. 



Volume 21 has not yet been issued. 



SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: — 2 5 cents a number, $3.00 per volume (12 num- 

 bers about 200 pages). 



BACK NUMBERS: — As far as we can supply, 25 cents each. Number 1 has 

 been reprinted, and other out-of-print numbers will be reprinted as the 

 demand may justify. File your orders for numbers required.
