A NEW MAGAZINE FOR ALL LOVERS OF NATURE . ! £ o be issued MONXMLY 9 in ,- large Svo . size , tastefully printed with occasional Illustrations . J *)* ice THREEPENCE . No . 1 to be issued on December 20 thi THE FIELD CLUB : A Magazine of General Natural History for Scientific and Unscientific Readers , Edited by Rev . THEODORE WOOD . fTHE FIELD CLUB will be published with the view of supplying a means of commu-JL nication between lovers of Natural History in its widest sense , and especially between the Members of the leading Field Clubs and Natural History Societies in the United Kingdom . It will I treat more particularly of the subjects which come within the province of such Societies , and publish notes of their discoveries , and abstracts of the more imporrant communications brought before them . At the same time , attention will be paid to such branches of Natural History as may interest the more general reader : and ' popular' treatment will , in all cases , be combined with scientific accuracy . In view of the great attention now being paid by agriculturists and others to Economic Zoology , special articles and shorter notes upon this subject will from time to time appear . The Collector and his wants will be carefully considered ; a series of short papers under the title of * The Outdoor Naturalists * will appear , in which instructions will also be given for the preparation of specimens for the collection , and the various other branches of indoor work . A special column will be devoted to notes on . the occurrence of rare birds , insects , & c , the appearance of the summer and autumn migrants , and other circumstances of general interest ; this column will form an epitome of the intelligence for which naturalists are at present obliged to consult the pages of some half-dozen separate periodicals . It is also proposed to establish an Exchange Column , advertisements in which will be inserted free of charge to subscribers . The scope and general character of The Field Club will be indicated by the following subjects which will be treated in the earlier numbers of The Field Club : — The The True Five Senses Status of of the Insects Sparrow ; . Insect Fish out Artillery of Water . . , f ' 1 Luminosity Venomous Fishes in Animals . . Electricity Setting : and in Preserving Animals . Beetles .
