has also been suggested to us that the Glossarial Index is no longer necessary; since our readers, from our preceding indexes of this kind, and also from the general spread of Natural History knowledge, as well as from all difficult terms being explained when they first occur, may now be supposed to be able to dispense with this kind of information.
Our great object, in commencing the Magazine of Natural History, and in conducting it, as well as all the other publications with which we are connected, has been, and is, to convey the greatest degree of knowledge, to the greatest number, in the most easy and agreeable manner, and with the least labour and loss of time. With this aim, we shall continue our exertions; encouraged by our past success, anxiously inviting the continued support of those who approve of our intentions, and sincerely thanking all our contributors for that able cooperation which has rendered this Magazine what it is.

In p. 340. line 2. from the bottom, for "the ordinary length and size," read "half the ordinary length and size:" the drawing was reduced in the engraving, and the letterpress was not altered accordingly.
