inch Ordnance Survey. It has the parishes printed in colours, 

 and all the roads are shown. Messrs. Stanford, Cockspur 

 Street, Charing Cross, London, S.W. supply it. Sub-divisions 

 have been added to the larger divisions for the purpose of 

 facilitating more detailed work, and of more fully indicating 

 the distribution of rare and local species. These were 

 obligingly worked out by W. Denison Roebuck, F.L.S., of 

 Sunny Bank, Leeds the editor of The Naturalist who is 

 prepared to supply workers with a large scale map of Lincoln- 

 shire showing the parish boundaries, and coloured clearly to 

 to indicate all the division and sub-division. In the Sketch 

 Map of the Soils of Lincolnshire^ by A. J. Jukes Browne, 

 B.A., F.G.S., which appeared in The Naturalist with the first 

 edition of this paper, the divisions and sub-divisions are shown, 

 and are further indicated by the initial letters of the cardinal 

 points of the compass. It is not thought advisable to print 

 these initial letters after the division numbers in the place 

 name list that follows, as it would add considerably to the 

 length of this paper. All these maps can be obtained from the 

 Editor of the Natural History section of the Lincolnshire 

 Notes & Queries.

 which are not called after places, and remarkable physical features 

 of the county, such as fens, hills, commons, woods and waters, 

 when these places have a name of their own to be found 

 in gazetteers, directories, and maps, new and old, which have 

 come under my observation. In the rare case where a parish 

 is scattered in separate departments lying at a distance from 

 one another, or a wood, with a distinctive name, runs continu- 

 ously from one parish into the next on the boundary line of a 

 division, two only in one case three numbers are required 

 to indicate the exact spot where an observation might be made 

 or a specimen taken. The spelling of these place-names is 

 that adopted by the Post Office Directory, or if not found 

 there, which was most frequently met with in the books and 

 maps consulted. Workers in the field, who intend to use this 

 place-name list, in recording the distribution of the species they 

 are studying, should note that Railway Stations are not always 

 situated in the parish after which they are named, in the case
