letter without additional postage, and 

 if our friends would so dispose of a few 

 copies it might assist us considerably. 

 One other suggestion has been made. 

 That there are many young collectors 

 who would be glad to help us, in getting 

 their friends to subscribe, and that 

 while we could not offer them a money 

 reward, we might render them some 

 other return for their services. This 

 we shall be glad to do in any way that 

 would be m«st acceptable, and to put 

 the matter in a -practical form we beg 

 to offer, to be available during July, 

 that for every three annual subscribers 

 procured we will give a postal box full 

 of insects, well set and named, or we 

 will supply our friend with half-a-dozen 

 of our extra plates colored instead of 

 plain. The subscription may com- 

 mence at any time, or go back to the 

 beginning. We hope this offer will be 

 taken advantage of to mutual benefit. 

 So soon as our circulation increases so 

 as to make our loss lighter, we will be 

 able to introduce other improvements, 

 never losing sight of our main object, 

 the aiding and encouraging beginners 

 ;n the study of Natural History. 



who will iu future supply the trade ; and we 

 trust our readers will have no further difficulty 

 in procuring copies through a local Bookseller. 



A few complete sets of the first half-yea;- 

 of this magazine may still be had, post 

 free, for 2s. 4d. Those who wish to have 

 itfrom the beginning should order atonce, 



SPECIAL NOTICE. 



Our friends have had great trouble hitherto 

 in procuring the Young Naturalist through 

 a Bookseller : the firm who supplied the 

 trade at first being too far from the centre for 

 collectors to go to Walworth for odd copies of 

 a penny paper. We now have pleasure to 

 announce that we have arranged with 

 Messrs. John Kempster & Co., 

 St. Bride's Avenue, 



Fleet Street, 



London, E. C,
