as question is often asked the editors, With but limited funds, 
what journals related to biology should our college take ? 
As others may be in the same position as these inquirers, the 
answer is made here. Of course this journal should-occupy the 
first place, since it is the only American periodical which regu- 
larly presents abstracts of the more important papers in all 
departments of natural history. Next in importance is the 
Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society (London, $7.50 a year), 
which, besides one or two original papers in each number, con- 
tains abstracts of work done in botany, zoology, and in micro- 
scopy and microscopical technique. The Zoologischer Anzeiger 
(Leipzig, $4) presents every two weeks original communications 
upon zoology, and also a classified list of all zoological publica- 
tions from all parts of the world. The Amatomischer Anzeiger 
(Jena, $4) contains only anatomical and embryological papers, 
and an index to the current literature of those subjects. The 
Biologisches Centralblatt (Erlangen, $4) is made up of original 
communications and longer résumés of zoological and botanical 
papers. 
In the line of botany every library should have the Botanical 
Gazette (Crawfordsville, Indiana, $2) and the Bulletin of the Tor- 
rey Botanical Club (New York, $2). For the larger and more 
important papers the Annals of Botany (London), the Annales des 
Sciences Naturelles Botanie (Paris), the Botanisches Centralblatt, 
and the Jahrbücher für wissenschaftliche Botanik, are the most 
indispensable. 
For the original contributions to zoology the most useful 
are the Journal of Morphology (Boston, $9), the Quarterly Jour- 
nal of Microscopical Science (London, $10), the Zeitschrift für 
wissenschaftliche Zoologie (Leipzig). Where more funds are 
available this list can be indefinitely increased.
