DESCRIPTION:A common belief among historians of natural histor
 y is that by the late nineteenth century\, the dev
 elopment of disciplines had narrowed scientific wr
 iting to a professional audience\, and that profes
 sional scientists no longer wrote for a nonspecial
 ist readership.   Not So! Says Peter Bowler (Queen
 ’s University\, Belfast).  The thin boundary betwe
 en ‘biologists’ and ‘naturalists’ was still permea
 ble\, and there were many early twentieth century 
 professional biologists\, \, such as Julian Huxley
 \, who presented natural history to a general read
 ership.  How did they find their way into the worl
 d of non-specialist writing?  How did they balance
  their writing activity against the demands of the
 ir professional careers?  Professor Bowler enlight
 ens us on an important issue in the development of
  professional science.
