Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals of Scottish Natural History, 1892: A Quarterly Magazine, With Which Is Incorporated "the Scottish Naturalist" IN this, the first number of The Annals of Scottish Natural History, a brief statement regarding the important part it is hoped the new magazine will fulfil in furthering the progress of Natural History in Scotland, may not be considered inappropriate. Limited as our pages must be to original matter relating to the Biology of Scotland, Recent and Fossil, it is evident that they cannot and should not be devoted to general ques tions relating to minute anatomy and physiology, for such more fitly find a. Place in Journals and Transactions of less restricted scope. Nor are monographs of a purely systematic nature, dealing with subjects not strictly Scottish, suitable for our Magazine. Yet, despite these restrictions, the field of work is both wide and varied, and there should, indeed, be no lack of Papers and Notes of value and interest to our readers, and ample room for The Annals in the serial literature of British Natural History.
