HARDWICKE'S SCIENCE-GOSSIP. 



LOCAL NATURALISTS. 



N response to my 

 appeal in Science- 

 Gossip last au- 

 tumn, the follow- 

 ing ladies and 

 gentlemen have 

 kindly sent me 

 their names as 

 being willing to 

 afford local infor- 

 mation in the 

 several branches 

 of Natural History 

 which they study 

 to fellow-natural- 

 ists visiting their 

 district,'or desirous 

 of such informa- 

 tion. I trust this 

 list may be the 

 means of bringing 

 together some kindred spirits during the coming 

 season. I had hoped to receive a larger number of 

 replies — many counties being quite unrepresented — 

 but this may possibly form the nucleus of a more ex- 

 tended list next year. I shall be glad to receive any 

 additional names during the next few months. It will 

 be seen one gentleman writes from Sweden : if any 

 of your readers contemplate visiting that interesting 

 country this summer, I have no doubt they would find 

 Mr. Beckman would give them valuable assistance.
