INTRODUCTORY. 



XI 



science in Europe and America appreciate this favor more keenly, 

 I think, than those situated more favorably have any idea of. 

 Publications may be sent either to the Tokyo Zoological Society 

 or to the College of Science. 



We now send forth this magazine to our fellow-workers in 

 other lands, asking their lenient judgment for whatever short- 

 comings it may exhibit, and hoping that it will aid in promoting 

 that fraternal feeling which must ever be characteristic of inter- 

 national Science. 



SALVE !

 Society for 1ÖÜG-7.
