Since some criticism has been made, both at home and abroad, on the name of The O. S. U. Naturalist, it has been thought best to make a slight change by dropping the words, State University. Although a change in name is unfortunate it will not be very serious at the present time and hereafter the name will be The Ohio Naturalist, which is perhaps more descriptive of the scope of the journal and much better for purposes of citation.
