THE FIELD CLUB 



A MAGAZINE OF GENERAL NATURAL HISTORY FOR SCIENTIFIC AND

 and especially between the Members of the leading Field Clubs and

 Societies, and at the same time will give attention to such branches of 

 Natural History as may interest the more general reader; and ''popular'" 

 treatment will, in all cases, be combined with scientific accuracy. 



Articles on Economic Zoology will from time to time appear, for the 

 use of agriculturists and others. 



The Collector and his wants will be carefully considered. Under the 

 title of The Out-door Naturalist, helpful papers will appear in the 

 earlier numbers, with instructions for the preparation of specimens for 

 the collection, and the varions other branches of indoor work. 



A special column will be devoted to Notes on the Occurrence of Rare 

 Birds, Insects, &c, the appearance of the Summer and Autumn migrants, 

 and other circumstances of general interest. It is also proposed to

 free of charge to subscribers.
