The NATURALIST. 



>co< 



It being the wish of the Editors to make the journal the recognised organ for 

 information concerning the natural history of the North of England, they hope 

 to rely on Naturalists keeping them supplied with articles and short notes 

 from time to time. 



Communications should be written on one side of the paper only, and 

 should be sent as soon after the commencement of the month as possible. 



Short Notes of important occurrences will be received up to the 20th of 

 the month, and specially urgent ones even later. 



Authors' Reprints.— 15 copies of the Naturalist are given to authors 

 of papers exceeding 3 pages. Reprints may be had at the following rates, if the 

 order is given on returning proof: 50 copies, 4 pp. 4/-: 8 pp. 5/6 ; 12 pp. 7/-; 

 16 pp. 9/-; 100 copies, 4 pp. 6/6 ; 8 pp. 8/- ; 12 pp. 10/6 ; 16 pp. 13/-. Covers extra! 



Subscription 5/- per annum, post free. Single numbers, 7d. each, post free. 



Correspondents should write scientific and technical terms distinctly. 



Back Numbers Of the Naturalist.— The Editors will, at any time, 

 be glad to hear from persons having volumes or odd numbers of the old
