Abstract

IT seems almost incredible that the Treasury should think of stopping the publication of the Kew Bulletin simply because it does not quite pay its own expenses. The periodical, as our readers know, is one of high value, both from the scientific and the industrial point of view, and, if the Treasury persists in the design attributed to it, something ought soon to be said on the subject in Parliament by the scientific members. The Times has argued strongly against the proposed step, and the view it has expressed will be shared by all who are capable of forming an intelligent opinion on the subject. It cannot be expected that a very large number of copies of the Bulletin will be sold, as it is really more useful to our colonial Governments than to individuals either here or in the colonies.
