Lincolnshire 3\(otes & Queries.

PREFATORY NOTE. 



SIXTEEN pages per quarter have been dedicated by the 

 proprietor of this journal to advancing the study of 

 Natural History in Lincolnshire. With this end in 

 view, we propose to print a series of literary articles on every 

 branch of the subject which can interest dwellers in the 

 county. With these we hope to appeal, at once, by their 

 accuracy to the workers who are already athirst for knowledge, 

 and by their clear and simple style to those not a few who 

 require to be incited to take a greater interest in the varied 

 materials for observation that a quiet walk or drive in the 

 country will reveal. As but little space can be found for 

 Notes and Queries in such a limited number of pages, the 

 Editor has arranged with the Sectional Secretaries of the 

 Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union to render any help in their 

 power to any one applying for it, e.g.^ by naming specimens, 

 giving advice as to the best books to be consulted, or the best 

 grounds for collecting. The following list gives the names 

 and addresses of the Sectional Secretaries to whom direct 

 application should be made by post j but in case of doubt, it 

 will be better to apply to the editor of this section of the 

 journal, who will transmit the communication to the proper 

 authority, from whom a reply will be received in due course. 

 The Sectional Secretaries are : Geology, H. Cooke, F.L.S., 

 F.G.S., 123, Monks' Road, Lincoln; Phanerogamic Botany, 

 Rev. E. Adrian Woodruffe-Peacock, L.Th., F.L.S., F.G.S., 

 Cadney, Brigg ; Cryptogamic Botany, J. Larder, 33, Mercer 

 Row, Louth ; Vertebrate Zoology, John Cordeaux, M.B.O.U., 

 Great Cotes House, R.S.O., Lincolnshire; Conchology, W. D.
