TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS, 



A circular has been issued to all members of Y. N, U., intimating 

 our intention to issue 24 pages in each monthly part, commencing 

 with our new volume (1st August) — provided 200 or 250 additional 

 subscribers can be added to our list. This will materially increase the 

 usefulness of the " Naturalist," and we therefore ask each subscriber 

 to get at lead one friend to add liis name to our list, which should be 

 sent in to us not later than 14th July. The price will remain the 

 same viz : — 4/- per annum payable in advance, but this can only be 

 done by the increase named. Will each subscriber do his best to 

 advance this project ? — Eds. Nat.
