THE 



NATURAL HISTORY JOURNAL. 



Editors : — 



J. E. CLARK, B.Sc, B.A., F.G.S., and B. B. LE TALL, M.A. (Lond.) 

 This is a School Journal of Natural History, in which articles on many other subjects 

 and of general interest are inserted. Twenty pages monthly, including four devoted to 

 Games. Issued on the 15th of each month, except in January, July, and August. 

 Primarily it is the organ of the Societies which have long been existing in the Schools of 

 the Societies of Friends ; but we believe an increasingly wider circle would find it worth 

 their while to support it. 



Price (prepaid) 3s, per Annum, POST FREE ; single copies, 4d. 



(No emolument to the promoters.) 



Address to the Editors, at 20, Bootham, York, 



Priated by O. Pearson, 24, High Street, Hartlepool ; and published by Messrs. John 

 Kempster & Co., Bolt Court, 151, Fleet Street, London, E.C.
