a brief history of the selborne society Magazine

"To recruit new members, the Society issued, in 1887, a monthly series of penny pamphlets called Selborne Letters, which explained its objects and work, but the main organ of communication was The Selborne Magazine, which appeared monthly in the following year and covered a wide range of natural history topics and 'Selborniana'. In 1890, the magazine was issued as Nature Notes and edited by James Britten of the British Museum (Natural History) until he died in 1897. Professor G. S. Boulger then became editor until his death in 1910."

NB The magazine reverted to the title "The Selborne Magazine" with the subtitle "and Nature Notes" in 1909. Describing its post World War II life, Michael Blackmore goes on to write:

"The Selborne Magazine had also made a welcome reappearance in 1958, first as a four-page leaflet and later as a section of the quarterly journal Birds and Country. It came out independently again in 1967 with eight pages, but because of rising costs, it was eventually superseded by a cyclostyled newsletter."
