Overview

Excerpt from The Nautilus, Vol. 3: A Monthly Journal Devoted to the Interests of Conchologists; May, 1889, to April, 1890 HE publishers of the nautilus feel that no explanation of their object in offering this journal to the scientific public is necessary. The need of an American publication devoted especially to the interests of Conchologists is felt throughout the country. One of the greatest difficulties which the student of science has to overcome is found in the scattered and fragmentary character of scientific literature. The Proceedings or Transactions of a hundred societies, and the pages of innumerable journals must be searched through before one can be certain that a given fact or observation has or has not been recorded. The Simplest way to better this condition of things will be to limit by some means the number of publications in which a certain subject is likely to be treated upon; and this is most easily done by establishing journals devoted to special branches of science. It is the aim of the nautilus to afford such a medium for all who are interested in studying the Mollusca and to this end the co-operation of all friends of science is solicited.
