VERTEBRATA OF LINCOLNSHIRE. 



MAY I appeal to all true lovers of natural history for local 

 lists of animals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes. 

 The lists that have already come to hand have been 

 run into a Locality Register^ like that for the Flora, with a 

 view, as the facts accumulate, to working out the distribution 

 of species according to the Natural History Division Scheme, 

 lately published in The Naturalist and Lincolnshire Notes & 

 Queries. 



Bare lists are of great value, but all interesting information 

 should be added for publication. In the case of rare specimens 

 and eggs there should be a note not only of the date, place, and 

 name of Collector, but also where these valuable finds are now 

 preserved. Full notes of specimens that have passed through 

 the hands of professional naturalists are simply invaluable 

 they see so much. 



I want notes especially on the old English Black Rat, Voles, 

 Shrews, Mice, Bats, and Seals and Fish of our coast line. 



Everyone's information will be most fully acknowledged. 



THE EDITOR.
