TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
219 
During the last month, for example, we have received two 
communications unauthenticated with name and address (see 
Rule i). 
On the 1 8th we received a contribution which the writer 
especially asked should be inserted in the present number (see 
Rule 3). 
We have also received both communications for insertion 
and books for review from the Secretary of the Society, and 
from each of the three publishers who have at one time or 
another been associated with Nature Notes (see Rule 4). 
Enquiries as to the supply of Nature Notes and one sub- 
scription (returned to the sender) have also been received (see 
Rule 5). 
The neglect of the observance of these Rules means a waste 
of time, trouble, and temper, to many persons, which might 
easily be avoided if correspondents would take the very slight 
trouble involved in the observance of our Rules. 
We wish it to be understood, therefore, that we shall not 
consider ourselves bound to acknowledge the letters of those 
who do not comply with the Rules we have laid down, and that 
such correspondents must not expect to find their communi- 
cations attended to.
