Abstract
IN September 1944, a small group of biologists met in Rome to consider means of promoting the interests of their science, and by December of the same year their suggestions had received sufficient support to justify the formation of a society of naturalists, Unione Italiana Naturalisti. By 1946, the society was strong enough to issue its own journal. This publication, Historia Naturalis, is about the same size as Nature, and each part so far published consists of 24 pages, exclusive of the cover. It is illustrated with line and half-tone text figures and is quite well printed. It appears three times a year-in March, June and September-and the issues of the first year are now to hand.
