For those studying special lines of Natural History it is essential 
to keep in touch with persons in various parts of the country, and 
studying the same particular subject. The best way to do this is to 
subscribe to at least one periodical devoted to that subject. The 
names of a few periodicals of this kind may be of use to the enthus- 
iastic student. Copeia is devoted to the study of snakes, lizards and 
fishes ; the Condor to birds ; the Entomological News to insects ; The 
Nautilus to shells ; and The Plant World to botany. The Journal of 
Geology, and Popular Astronomy are most excellent in their lines.
