 ton, county of Gloucester, of whom Sir C. Hedges, secretary 

 of state to Queen Anne, was a distinguished ornament. 

 Colonel Montagu possessed a long correspondence between 

 her Majesty and her favourite secretary, which, with the 

 family estates of Lackham and Alderton, descend to his

 Knowle House, or Kuowle Cottage, rather, as it is there

 this opportunity of presenting a memorial of an English 

 Zoologist, I feel myself greatly indebted to the kindness of 

 the Rev. Robert Holdsworth of Brixham, who supplied me 

 with the sketch from which the vignette below was pre- 

 pared.
