Abstract
IN welcoming the appearance of this new journal under the editorship of Prof. Emery, of Bologna, and Prof. Mosso of Turin, it may not he amiss to mention briefly the programme of its originators. They will endeavour each year to give a classified list of all works published in Italy on biology, in its widest sense. The list for 1881, with an index of the names of authors, appears in volume I. They will try and bring together and illustrate original memoirs on subjects which treat of life in every form. In addition to these there will from time to time appear résumés and notices of memoirs appearing in other Italian journals; and as far as practicable the résumés will be drawn up by the authors of the papers abstracted. The archives will be published in French, “because this language is, without the possibility of contradiction, that one the most universally known among all the living languages.”
