384 EDITOEIAL.
now nearly completed—of botanists in all parts of the world who
have died during 1890. The pressure upon our pages has this year
caused us to omit the List of New Species published in Britain during
1889, and if the pressure continues,—and we can hardly wish for
its cessation—this, although useful, will have to be abandoned.
We hope to notice, even if briefly, a larger number of the publications
which reach us from time to time, some of which have, we fear,
been neglected ; and it is our wish to increase the number of plates
and other illustrations. This last improvement, however, must
largely depend upon a like increase in the number of our subscribers.
We are quite willing to continue our editorial work, which is still
almost unremunerative, although the Journal at present does not
—as at one time was the case—involve any pecuniary loss ; but
we can hardly be expected to find also the means by which the
work is to be carried on. There are still some who might readily
afford the small annual sum required, who are not at present upon
our list of subscribers ; and we venture to appeal to them for
support.
All contributions to the Journal, books for review, &c., should
be addressed to 18, West Square, Southwark, S.E. Subscriptions
and advertisements should be sent to the publishers, Messrs. West,
Newman & Co., 54, Hatton Garden, E.G.
