Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society, Vol. 3: Containing Its Transactions and Proceedings, and a Record of Current Researches Relating to Invertebrata, Cryptogamia, Microscopy, &C.; February, 1880
As the result of endeavours made to ascertain the views of the Fellows, it has been found that a desire exists that the pages occupied by the Bibliography should be devoted to an extension of the abstracts of important biological and microscopical papers, instead of including the titles simply of all such papers. Recognizing that the Editors exist for the Journal, and not the Journal for the Editors, it is intended to give effect to this wish, though not without some personal regret. The aim of the Journal has been, as before explained, to give the Fellows full information as to what has been published in the current periodical literature of all countries; and as it is impossible to do this completely - at any rate at present - by means of abstracts, the Bibliography was intended to supply some of the omissions, so that the Fellows might still feel assured that there was no paper that was not, in some form, brought under their notice.
As great importance must attach to the nearest approach to completeness in this respect, it is proposed to incorporate with the Record of Current Researches, bibliographical notes of papers that it may be impossible to abstract, either for want of space or for other reasons.
