botanists and entomologists will, I know, appreciate 

 my reasons for not going into particulars in all cases, 

 especially when the species may be rare. I shall" be 

 very glad, however, at any time, to give what infor- 

 mation I may to any naturalist who may think well 

 to honour me with a call. 



I am indebted for these lists much more to the 

 endeavours of my friends, than to my own researches, 

 although I can personally vouch for the greater por- 

 tion of them. In drawing up the list of plants, I 

 have received invaluable assistance from Mr. J. 

 Hanbury, of London, and Mr. G. C. Walton, of 

 Sandgate. 



The list of Lepidoptera is founded on that of Dr. 

 Kiiaggs, published with valuable notes for the 

 Natural History Society in 1870. By the aid of 

 Mr. C. A. Briggs, of Lincoln's Inn, and Mr. W. 

 Purdey, of Folkestone, however, we have been able 

 to certify the occurrence of more than double the 

 number of species recorded in that list. 



The list of Birds is by Messrs. F. Tolputt and V. 

 Knight. 



And lastly the Laud and Freshwater Shells were 

 kindly worked out for me by Mrs. FitzGcrald, who 

 has devoted considerable attention to them, and 

 possesses a splendid collection. 



To these, and to all other friends, known and un- 

 known, I hereby offer iny best thanks for their assist- 

 ance.
