WHOLESALE AGENTS-HORACE MARSHALL & SON BERLIN: R. FRIEDLANDER & SOHN "MAN HAS SURELY NOT REACHED THE LIMITS OF HIS INTELLECTUAL DEVELOP- "WE HAVE TO ADMIT, WITH REGRET, THAT MOST OF THE REPRESENTATIVES WE OUR ANNUAL GREETING. E cannot forbear from asking our readers to felicitate with us upon the success of our past volume. The excellence of many of the contributions has obtained for the magazine congratulations from widely-distributed sources. Added to this has been the satisfaction of recording in our pages descriptions of several animals new to Science. With the conclusion of the volume come changes among our departmental editors through the retirement of Messrs. James Quick, Edward A. Martin, and Harold M. Read, who have so kindly conducted the respective departments of Physics, Geology and Chemistry. To these gentlemen we tender our sincere thanks for their past assistance. Mr. C. A. Mitchell, B.A. (Oxon.), F.I.C., has undertaken the last department, and we believe that our readers will greatly appreciate the varied experience that he will bring to bear upon that section of Science. We hope at an early date to be able to announce that conductors have volunteered for the other departments. We have long felt the desirability of paying more attention to the Botanical section of Science, and we are glad to state that two gentlemen, well known as botanists, have been good enough to undertake the honorary departmental editorship. Mr. James Saunders, A.L.S., of Luton, will conduct Field Botany, and Mr. Harold A. Haig, of University College, London, will supervise Structural Botany. We trust that our readers may help to make their columns of universal interest. Dr. G. H. Bryan, F.R.S., has generously undertaken to assist with our mathematical columns. We have again to thank our contributors for their valuable articles and notes, and to express our regret that limitation of space has precluded the consideration of numerous other manuscripts. We have also to tender gratitude to our old and to the many new subscribers for the support they have rendered, without which it would be impossible to continue our efforts to popularise Science. 110 Strand, London.
