344 Recent Wiltshire Books and Articles. 
Ditto, No. 19, September, 1897." This number has as frontispiece an 
excellent drawing of the old Dove Cote at Wick Farm, Notton. Mr. 
Story Maskelyne’s careful transcript of Benolt’s Visitation of Wilts, 1532, 
from the MS. in the British Museum, containing pedigrees of Seymour, 
Bourchier, Pike, Page, Burley, Hungerford, Chocke, Braybrook, and Horsey, 
is a valuable genealogical contribution. Mr. Talbot has a note on the 
Bonham pedigree, and then follow ten pages of records connected with 
Bratton. The continuation of Mr. Morres’ paper on the breeding of 
Hawkmoths contains some very suggestive hints for entomologists—but it 
can hardly be said to be specially connected with Wiltshire. The first 
instalment of A Calendar of Feet of Fines for Wiltshire beginning with 
Hen. VII., occupies the next ten pages, after which three pages of Quaker 
Marriage Records and a few notes and queries conclude the number, which 
as a whole is of very solid genealogical interest. 
Salisbury Field Club Transactions, vol. ii, part ii., pp. 87-122. This 
number contains notes on the excursions of the club to Chichester, Wells, 
and Mere ia 1894, and of the general meeting in 1895, followed by a short 
paper on Wells Cathedral, Transcripts of three Deeds relating to St. Giles’ 
Hospital, Wilton, and Notes on Marriages during the Commonwealth from 
the Registers of East Knoyle. Perhaps the most valuable of the contents are 
the Notes on the arms of Hyde, by the Rev. E. E. Dorling, with a drawing 
of the arms on the brass plate on the tomb of Bishop Alexander Hyde, in 
Salisbury Cathedral—not mentioned in Kite’s Brasses of Wilts—and Mr. 
Tatum’s supplemental Notes on the Flora of South Wilts—in which a 
valuable list is given of thirty-nine sub-species or varieties of Rubus, and 
twenty-two of Rosa—very many of these difficult and little-known varieties 
having never before been recorded for the county. 
Marlborough College Natural History Society’s Report for the 
Year 1895. No, 44. This report shows that much good work was done 
during the year and that the society continued as vigorous as ever. It 
commences with a short account of the meetings, lectures, and field-days 
held during the year. Mr. Meyrick gives a valuable list of Birds of the 
Marlborough District, with notes on each species, brought up to date. 
Amongst the rarer species observed in recent years are the Woodchat Shrike, 
Great Grey Shrike, Pied Flycatcher, Lesser Redpole, Crossbill, Cirl Bunting, 
Snow Bunting, Woodlark, Wryneck, Roller, Hoopoe, Hobby, Merlin, 
Bittern, Spotted Crake, and Bar-tailed Godwit. This is followed by a list 
of the local Coleoptera, compiled by A. G. Jebb; a catalogue of the Roman 
Coins in the College Museum; a Record of the Great Storm of June 26th, 
when 2°71 inches of rain fell in three-quarters of an hour, with two photo- 
graphs of the condition of the High Street after it. In the account of the 
Botanical Section Salix repens is noted as having been found between Stype 
and Foxbury Woods. The Entomological Section record eleven species new 
to the district. The number ends with the usual tables of Meteorological 
Statistics and the Anthropometrical Report.
