HE following report is drawn up from returns 

 which have been sent in by eight or nine 

 observers, living at various places in the county. 

 The interest of this report will be much in- 

 creased in the future if other members of the 

 Field Club would undertake to record their 

 observations on facts of this nature, especially in the north and 

 north-western districts of the county, and with a view to this a set 

 of schedules suited to the character of the county have been 

 printed.
