The Zoologist

The Zoologist

"The Zoologist" was a monthly natural history journal founded in 1843 by the publisher Edward Newman, published in London. Newman acted as editor until his death in 1876, when he was succeeded by James Edmund Harting (1876-1896) and William Lucas Distant (1897-1916).

Originating from an enlargement of "The Entomologist" magazine, "The Zoologist" contained long articles, short notes, comments on current events, and book reviews covering the entire Animal Kingdom throughout the world, until "The Entomologist" was separated again in 1864. Initially, half of the space was devoted to birds, rising to two-thirds later.

Due to a shortage of subscribers it was amalgamated with British Birds in 1916.
