Abstract
New academic journals come, but some old journals have gone, sad to say. Four contrasting journals that blossomed since the mid-1950s and subsequently vanished are discussed here. The demise of these journals is linked to failing enthusiasm of one form or another, by subscribers, publishers or contributors. Money was often an issue. All were worthy and would form a valid part of the modern diversity of geological publications if only they had survived.
