The greater part of the matter contained in this 

 volume has not appeared before. In the first half 

 of the book use has been made of an article on 

 " Summer in the Forest " from Longman's Maga- 

 zine ; in the second half I have drawn on articles 

 from the same periodical, on " Wolmer Forest," 

 tl A Summers End on the lichen" and " Selborne 

 Revisited " / and I have also made use of an 

 article entitled " A More or Less Happy Family " 

 from the Badminton Magazine.
