Abstract
SINCE its foundation in 1930, the Hong-Kong Naturalist has done much to encourage observation of Nature in the Colony. At first the magazine contained both technical articles for scientific workers, and more popular articles dealing with local fauna and flora. By aid of a grant from a scientific institution outside the Colony, Dr. Herklots, the editor, has been able to separate these two objects, so that the Naturalist now appears as a guide mainly designed for the amateur field naturalist, while the Supplement contains the specialist papers. We must congratulate the Hong-Kong Naturalist on the excellence of its natural history articles for the purposes they are intended to serve; the coloured plates and the line drawings which have been a feature of the magazine display art as well as scientific accuracy.
