TO OUR READERS, 
ITH the commencement of the second year of the 
existence of this journal, we wish to thank all those 
among our readers whose kind assistance has enabled 
us to bring the first year of our undertaking to a 
successful close. 
We also wish to ask all our readers to assist us during the , 
present year in our endeavours to make this magazine a real 
success—both literary and financial. 
Already the Naturalists' Journal has begun to establish 
itself as a popular medium among a large class of workers, and 
at the close of the second year we should like to see it firmly 
established as a periodical ; but a great deal still remains to be 
done to attain this object, and here it is that every reader can 
assist us by making the Naturalists’ Journal more widely 
known. 
In the present volume a number of first-rate articles, by well* 
known and experienced writers, upon a great variety of subjects, 
will appear, while we shall also endeavour to introduce as many 
attractive features as possible, together with good illustrations. 
As mentioned last month the magazine will, commencing 
with the issue of January next, be permanently enlarged. 
The Editor,
