Abstract
IN NATURE, vol. viii. p. 506 Mr. Röhrs wishes that our learned societies would publish their papers separately. I have urged this before in NATURE, but unsuccessfully. With Transactions such as those of the Royal Society, the present system is almost an absurdity, for papers on most incongruous subjects are bound up together, and the cost is too great. When once a paper is printed, the Council seem to think that there is nothing more to be done, and do not in any way try to make the work known. All papers should be sold separately as cheaply as possible, and on publication, should be advertised in the scientific journals.
