The Annals And Magazine Of Natural History Including Zoology Botany And Geology 1897 Vol 19 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Annals and Magazine of Natural History, Vol. 1: Including Zoology, Botany, and Geology With the present Number this Journal enters upon the fifth decennial period of its existence. The Editors, one of whom assisted at the very birth of the 'Annals', cannot but congratulate themselves upon the continued and ever-increasing vitality of their Journal, which, notwithstanding the numerous other means of publishing Natural-History Articles that now exist, has at no previous period of its career been more abundantly supplied with good materials. This is due, no doubt, in great measure to the extreme activity which has prevailed in the investigation of all branches of Natural History during the last fifteen years; but the Editors cannot help feeling that the continued flow of valuable articles to their Journal is an indication that it is regarded as, to some extent, a particularly favourable vehicle for publication - a view which is confirmed by the fact that even Foreign Naturalists seek admission for their writings to its pages. That it may still retain this character will be the object of their earnest endeavours jand they trust it will be long before the increasing age of the 'Annals' is betrayed by any signs of decrepitude.
