From Francis Barnard to Ferdinand von Mueller   11 Aug 1886

11.8.86.

Mueller—

I have the honor to inform you that it was decided at the last meeting of the Committee of the above Club that you should be allowed two pages free of cost in each number of the Naturalist1 for the publication of your descriptions of new plants also one or two more as the Editor can spare them any extra pages you may require which would make the journal exceed the ordinary size / 12 pages / to be charged at 5/ per page — thus if the Editor requires 9 pages you can have three free of cost, should you want seven you would be charged for four2

I may mention that it has almost been definitely decided to change our printers to Massina and Co who print the Journal of Pharmacy which I think will give you much better satisfaction. We also intend to enlarge to sixteen pages per month, the alterations to commence with the November number

The Field Naturalists' Club's journal, the Victorian Naturalist.
