The Field Naturalist And Scientific Student PDF Download

Excerpt from The Field Naturalist's Quarterly, Vol. 1 In presenting this our first issue to our readers, it may be well to indicate briefly the object the Editor and his colleagues have in view. We intend in this journal to deal with all the subjects that arc usually the objects of attention and study with members of Field Naturalist Clubs and kindred societies. Many such societies publish their own transactions at intervals, others do not ; in any case, it is felt that a useful purpose may be served by a periodical which will indicate the work that is being done by students in different branches of natural science in various localities. The advanced student in Zoology, Archæology, Botany, and other special branches of knowledge, has in nearly every instance the choice of a journal devoted exclusively to his particular study, written by eminent specialists in their respective lines. Our own object is a somewhat different one from that served by such publications. Many field naturalists take a real interest in animals, plants, or the various objects of local interest in their neighbourhoods, who at the same time have not the opportunity or the desire to take up one special branch of study. Without wishing to know all that is knowable about anything, they still like to know something about many things.
