Of the articles, seven are by Wiltshire authors :—" One Summer's 

 Day," by J. R. Eees, pp. 38—49, discourses very pleasantly of an after- 

 noon spent in discussing Tennyson on Vespasian's Camp, at Amesbury. 

 H. W. Dartnell contributes " Guernsey re-visited," pp. 58—62 ; " Some 

 Entomological Captures in the Salisbury District during 1906," by 

 W. A. Bogue, gives a very useful list of Lepidoptera for a district which 

 has never been properly worked; G. E. Dartnell — one of the editors — 

 has no less than four of the articles, " Notes on Longfellow's Poems," 

 pp. 74—89 ; " Eorke's Drift, a Ballad," pp. 23—28 ; " Among the Moon- 

 rakers," pp. 62—71, which contains a number of good Wiltshire stories, as 

 does also the article entitled " Wiltshire Memories," pp. 8—17, which 

 has much to say in a very pleasing way of old days in North Wilts, with 

 anecdotes of many Wiltshire folk whose memory is scarcely known to 

 the present generation. These Wiltshire articles are the making of the 

 present number of the annual. 



Report of Marlborough College Natural History 

 Society for year ending Christmas, 1905.

 (Part XL) on Old Marlborough History, dealing chiefly with 17th century 

 events. 



In the Botanical Section Senecio sylvaticus is noted as growing 

 commonly at Poulton Firs, and Teucrium scorodonia as growing not 

 uncommonly in the Forest woods south of the Ruins. Other rarities 

 are mentioned, but they seem to be casual escapes. In the Entomological 

 Section five species of Lepidoptera new to the district are noted, bring- 

 ing up the total to 1144. A list of the Coleoptera of the district brought 

 up-to-date is printed, numbering 819 species. There is a short note on 

 two small vessels, one of them a bowl, 4| in. in diameter at top and 

 2^ in. at base, now in possession of the Rev. W. Kettlewell, the other 

 more cup-shaped which was broken and lost, found together about 2 ft. 

 below the surface of the lawn at East Grafton Vicarage. They are 

 described as of British pottery coarse and black and without ornament. 

 Nothing was discovered with them.
