With very great regret those responsible for the pubHcation 

 of the Irish Naturalist have decided that the price — whether 

 for single copies or subscription for the year — must be 

 doubled. For the past three yeais the old rate has been 

 maintained and an attempt has been made to keep 

 expenditure within income by reducing the size of the 

 monthly issues. Now the increased cost of printing and 

 paper leaves no alternative but a charge of is. per copy 

 and IDS. annual subscription if the pubHcation is to be 

 continued. The Editors believe that the subscribers and 

 supporters of the Irish Naturalist are sufficiently interested 

 in the continuance of the magazine to pay the increased 

 cost willingly, if not cheerfully !
