The Naturalist, while aiming to be strictly scientific and technical in character, will endeavor to be of especial assistance to the teachers and amateur scientists of the state. It is believed that the kind of work contemplated will be of great educational value.
While The Naturalist is to be devoted especially to the interests of the state, other matter which may from time to time be offered, will not be excluded.
