QUARTERLY JOURNAL 
OF 
MICROSCOPICAL SCIENCE: 
INCLUDING THE TRANSACTIONS OF 
OTimmrnprral Inridij nf %m font. 
EDITED BY 
DR. LANKESTER, F.RS.,F.L.S., & GEORGE BUSK, F.RS.,F.L.S. 
Yols. I., II. & III., comprising 80 sheets, 55 lithographs (16 being coloured), 
one Micro-Photographic plate {the first attempt to illustrate works by this process), 
and 220 Woodcuts. 
Blue Cloth boards , 16s. each. 
Under the heads of Original Communications, Translations, 
Reviews, Notes, Queries, and Memoranda, and Proceedings of 
Societies, information in every department of Microscopy and 
Histology is presented by this Journal to Naturalists, Chemists, 
Physicists, Medical Men, and Amateurs, and at the same time it 
offers a desirable medium for the publication of papers on Micro¬ 
scopical observations and inventions, not only on account of its 
extensive circulation amongst those most interested in the subject, 
but from the attention devoted to the Illustrations that accompany 
the work, an important feature, in this Journal. 
This Periodical, having from its first appearance obtained and 
steadily maintained a circulation larger than might have been 
expected for a Journal devoted to any special department of 
Science, Mr. Highley is desirous of extending the value of the 
Publication, without increasing the Subscription, to its regular 
supporters, this the new Book-Postal Regulations will enable 
him to effect, by adopting the Continental System for Periodical 
Publications, viz.:—Supplying to Annual Subscribers only 
carriage free on THE day of Publication at a reduced rate. 
The Annual Volume will comprise Five Parts, viz.:—Four 
Quarterly Parts and a Supplement, containing together with 
Indices, Title-page, &c., Extra Matter and Illustrations.
