GOOD deal of interesting material on local 

 Natural History during 1919 has been forwarded 

 to the Honorary Editor of this report; but, as 

 space is still being limited, the task of selecting 

 the more important records for publication is a difficult one. 

 The following notes refer only to Birds and Macro-lepidoptera, 

 and judging from the reports sent in, these comprise the 

 branches of most general interest. Records in the other 

 branches are few, but Dr. Haines of Winfrith has sent notes 

 on other orders of insects, particularly Dragon-flies. These 

 have not been incorporated in this report, but the notes suggest 

 that a paper on the Dragon-flies of Dorset would form a 

 useful article for the Proceedings.
