The Irish Naturalist was a scientific journal that was published in Dublin, Ireland, from April 1892 until December 1924.
The journal owed its establishment to the efforts of several leading Dublin naturalists, notably George H. Carpenter and R. M. Barrington.
The first editors were Carpenter and Robert Lloyd Praeger, of the National Library of Ireland.
[1][2] The Irish Naturalist was published for 33 years and contained in total over 3000 pages.
It had been having some financial problems, but the final blow came when Carpenter took up his appointment to the keepership of the Manchester Museum in 1923.
