Although the limited space which can be allotted to the sub- 

 ject in the present work precludes a fuller use of the mass of 

 valuable information which the courtesy of correspondents has 

 placed at their disposal, the authors hope to have the pleasure of 

 utilising it in future publications, and for such purpose would be 

 glad to receive additional notes. Mr. Roebuck would be pleased 

 to receive records of the occurrence of the mammalia and reptiles, 

 more particularly of the smaller and more obscure species, and 

 references to historical and other evidence of the former existence 

 of the extinct forms ; while Mr. Clarke would like to receive' 

 additional information on the birds, with evidence as to the 

 existence of the Great Bustard and other species which once bred 

 in the county, and specimens and information of the occurrences 

 of marine fishes.
