Dear Sir 



I am much pleased to hear that you are issuing a periodical 

 devoted to the interests of Conchology in Japan. I wish you all 

 success, all shall look forward to seeing the first number. 



A carefully edited publication, specially 'devoted to one parti- 

 cular branch of science, hns, almost invariably, the result of giving 

 a great stimulus to the study, not only in the country in which it 

 appears, but in other lands as well. That this may be the conse- 

 quence of your journal is the least wish I hat I can send you.

Dear Sir 



Your proposal to start a monthly magazine devoted to the 

 study of Japanese Mollusca — the firs I of its kind to be produced in 

 Asia — will doubtless meet with cordial welcome and approval in 

 your own country and with sincere wishes for every success from 



Yours fat h fully
