THE YOUNG NATURALIST. 



the current number.- of this magazine. 

 The limited circulation a Natural 

 History paper necessarily obtains, and 

 the very low price of our subscription 

 necessarily preclude this, but it is in- 

 tended that the letterpress shall be re- 

 printed in a separate form, and illustra- 

 tions supplied with it. This will form 

 the first of a series which we purpose 

 to call the •' Young Naturalist Series 

 of Handbooks on Natural History." 

 It will be issued in Monthly parts, at 

 two shillings, each of which will contain 

 four plates, two of birds and two of eggs. 

 The tws plates of birds, and of eggs will 

 also be issued separately each month for 

 tho se who only care for one of them at one 

 shilling each. The letterpress in both 

 eases will be the same. They will be 

 uniform in size with the Young 

 Naturalist, so that those who prefer it, 

 can bind the plates to illustrate the 

 paper.- in these pages. The plates in 

 all cases will be carefully drawn, and 

 colored by hand, as by that means, 

 much greater accuracy can be insured. 

 Special attentiou will be given to the 

 production of reliable figures of every 

 British Bird, and then- eggs, as 

 well as striking and unusual 

 varieties of both, the material for 

 which has long been accumulating, and 

 the most of which has never before 

 been published. No pains will be 

 spared to make the letterpress complete 

 in itself, and to render the separate 

 work with the illustrations superior to 

 anything that has yet been issued at 

 the price. 



SPECIAL NOTICE. 



Our friends have had great trouble hitherto 

 in procuring the You kg Naturalist through 

 \ a Bookseller : the firm who supplied the 

 I 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 

 j announce that we have arranged with 

 I Messrs. John Kempster & Co., 

 St. Bride's Avenue, 



Fleet Street, 



London, E. C, 

 who will in future supply the trade ; and we 

 trust our readers will have no further difficulty 

 j in procuring copies through a local Bookseller.
