Her Majesty's Coastguard. First issue, September. (Office, 7 Wel- lington

Street, Strand.)—Is a means of bringing the Coastguard Ser- vice more prominently to the front, comprised, as it is, of picked men from the Royal Navy, a Liqt, containing the names of all officers serving in the force, has been published. A glance at this List shows that nearly every officer in the Coastguard has seen good service, as exemplified by the war and other medals noted against his name. Hitherto the Coastguard has not, as a national Service, occupied the position it deserves among the Queen's forces. It is to be hoped the List now published will assist in giving it its due prominence.
