Excerpt from The National Geographic Magazine, Vol. 6: January, 1894, to May, 1895 In addition to announcements of meetings and various circulars sent to members from time to time, the Society issues a single serial publication entitled the national geographic magazine. During the first two years Of the existence of the Society this serial was issued in quarterly numbers. With the beginning of the third year of the Society and the third volume of the Magazine the form of publication was changed, and the serial appeared at irregular intervals in parts or brochures (designated by pages and designed either for separate preservation or for gathering into volumes), consisting either of single memoirs or of magazine bro chures made up of articles, notes, abstracts, and other geographic matter, together with the Proceedings and other administrative records of the Society. By reason of a Change in the Society's season and fiscal year, volume VI extended from January 1, 1894, to May 31, 1895, and later volumes will coincide with the new season, namely, June 1 to May 31. Moreover, the numbers will be issued regularly hereafter, at periods to be announced in the first number of the new volume. The Magazine is forwarded gratuitously to all members of the Society. The subscription price to the public will be, hereafter, a year. Members of the Society who want extra copies, and subscription agencies for the sale of the Magazine, are allowed a discount of thirty per cent.
