This being the first volume of a new series of the CANADIAN NATURALIST, the publishers desire to express their thanks to those who have aided its publication, either by the encouragement of their subscriptions, or by contribution of articles. The fact of a publication of this kind having reached a second and much improved Series, is very gratifying to all who are interested in the real progress of this country. It proves that Canada is advancing intellectually as well as materially, and that the study of the book of Nature is beginning to divide the attention of our newspaper and ledger loving countrymen. During the past eight years there have been published in this Magazine two hundred and ninety-five original articles on the Natural History of this country. Many of them have been copied into foreign journals; and the continual inquiry from Europe for back volumes, shows the esteem in which they are there held. The Series just published may be said to contain descriptions of all the animals of British North America. Many of the articles on this subject have been contributed by gentlemen of the Hudson's Bay Company, and contain much information, not to be found elsewhere, concerning the fur-bearing animals. The Ornithology is nearly complete. There are several excellent articles on the Entomology of Canada, and many Botanical articles by PROF. DAWSON, REV. MR. KEMP, MR. G. BARNSTON, the late DR. BARNSTON, and others. In the subjects of Geology, Chemical Geology, Paleontology, and Mineralogy, the Canadian Naturalist is very full. The editors, DR. DAWSON, DR. HUNT, and MR. BILLINGS, have contributed a large number of most valuable papers on these branches of science, as well as on more general topics. Now that Lower Canada is found to abound in mineral wealth, its inhabitants cannot afford to be ignorant of such subjects. The gold of the Chaudière and the copper of the Townships were years ago indicated by some of the editors of this Magazine in the Geological Survey reports. Many very valuable articles on mining have been contributed to our pages, by MR. MACFARLANE and others. The publishers cannot here refer more fully to the many important papers which enrich the pages of the NATURALIST: a list of them will be found in the circular sent with this number. The improved appearance of this first number of the new Series may show that the publishers are determined to do their part to render the Naturalist more worthy of support. They invite the aid of all who are friends to the intellectual advancement of Canada. And that aid can best be given by adding their names to the subscription list, and by bringing the Magazine under the notice of their friends, for it has no public aid to fall back upon. |
