Besides being a constant contributor to the Transactions 

 of many of the above-mentioned societies, Robert Service's 

 papers often appeared in the Scottish Naturalist, the 

 Annals of Scottish Natural History, and the Zoologist.

 Moss," and " Amateur Astronomer," he frequently 

 wrote articles in the Kirkcudbrightshire Advertiser, the 

 Dumfries and Galloway Courier and Herald, the Dumfries
