what we have said. We sincerely wish success to the Entomological Magazine, 
as to every promising periodical relating to Natural History, but the character of 
some of the articles admitted must be considerably altered before it can become 
a general favourite. It moreover wants popularizing a little.

xvii. Mai, 1837. Geneve: A Cherbuliez, Rue-de-la-cite. 
This is an admirable and extremely well-conducted periodical, issuing monthly, 
in thick 8vo. numbers, at Geneva. Its scope and objects are sufficiently varied 
to suit almost all tastes, and the frequent translations we have from time to time 
made from its pages will at once attest our approbation of that department of the 
magazine devoted to Natural History.

France is, perhaps, the only country in the world capable of producing a work 
like the Annales des Sciences Naturelles —the only country, too, capable of 
appreciating such a publication, and this, to say the truth, is no slight compli¬ 
ment. In England, unquestionably, a periodical of similar character would not 
last six months. We are apt to boast of the popularity of Natural History in 
this country; but the circumstance of some of the best journals relating to this 
very popular study barely paying their expenses—while one still keeps afloat by 
the force of old associations, and the influence of the publishers—is a poor en¬ 
couragement to those Editors who have toiled so hard for the general good. 
Every number of the Annales contains a vast mass of valuable matter relative 
to Zoology and Botany, and the work is every way worthy its eminent con¬ 
ductors. 
To this periodical, as well as the preceding, we have frequently resorted for 
the amusement and instruction of our readers.
