Ray Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ray Society was instituted in 1844 and named after John Ray, the 17th century naturalist, as a scientific publishing organization whose activities are devoted mainly, though not exclusively, to the British flora and fauna. So far the Ray Society has published 169 volumes. For the most part, these are academic works which are of particular interest to naturalists, zoologists, botanists and collectors.
The Ray Society publishes books on natural history with special but not exclusive reference to the British flora and fauna. The Society's works are original monographs on particular groups and topics, facsimiles of historically important works and translations of existing works. Works or proposals for works may be submitted to the Honorary Secretary of the Society. These works should be complete treatments of a particular subject and should not form part of a series of works on a particular group or topic. Works which are being considered by the Society should not be under consideration elsewhere.
