THE FIELD CLUB 



A MAGAZINE OF GENERAL NATURAL HISTORY FOR SCIENTIFIC AND 

 UNSCIENTIFIC READERS. 



EDITED BY REV. THEODORE WOOD. 



THE FIELD CLUB is published with the view of supplying a means 

 of communication between lovers of Natural History in its widest sense, 

 and especially between the Members of the leading Field Clubs and 

 Natural History Societies in the United Kingdom. It will treat more 

 particularly of the subjects which come within the province of these 

 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-doob, Naturalist, helpful papers will appear in the 

 earlier numbers, with instructions for the preparation of specimens for 

 the collection, and the various 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 

 establish an Exchange Column, advertisements in which will be inserted 

 free of charge to subscribers. 



THE FIELD CLUB can be had for localization by Natural History 

 and Field Clubs at very reasonable terms, which may be learned from the 

 publisher.
