Sheppard: Yorkshire’s Contribution to Science. II3 
published by Mr. 5S. L. Mosley (8vo. tod. each). There were 
not many pages in each part.* but there were some really very 
fine plates of Butterflies, etc. The parts I have seen contain a note 
to the effect that “the present volume will contain a complete 
monograph of British Butterflies and Sphinges. illustrated with 
coloured figures of every species.’ Probably about the date 
named The Naturalists’ Guide ceased, as we find Mr. Mosley’s 
name as joint editor, for the first time, of The Naturalists’ 
Journal for November, 1894, at the close of its third volume. t+ 
THE NATURALISTS RECORD. 
‘The Naturalists’ Record: a Monthly Illustrated Magazine, 
devoted to the interests of Science,’ was conducted by H. C. Oak- 
shott, of Falmouth, and was published by E. T. Oliver, London, 
price 2d. It contained 16 pages, all but the first in double 
columns, and the pages measured 10 by rod inches. Vol I., Nos. 
1-9 (1889-90) were published. 
THE COUNTRY-SIDE. 
‘The Country-Side’ is a journal of many vicissitudes. It 
first appeared as a weekly in May, 1905, and existed as such 
until vol. 10, which was unfinished, in 1909. It was 4to in size, 
averaged about 16 pages, was first sold at 1d. and’then at 2d., 
and was edited by E, Kay Robinson. Its contributions consisted 
of natural and pseudo-natural history notes and articles written 
in a popular style, and very general in character. Some of them, 
however, refer to Yorkshire. The last part I have been able to 
trace is No. 244 of vol. 10, dated January 15th, roto. 
Then follows an extraordinary series of varied publications, 
most of which seem to have been associated in some way or other 
with the said E. Kk. Robinson. 
In April, 1908, appeared vol. I., No. 1 of ‘ Country Queries and 
Notes.” By March, 1909, vol. I., No. 12 appeared with a total 
of 582 pages, in two columns, which completed vol. 1., as there is 
a title-page and index. It was published monthly at 4d. 
In April, 1909, appeared vol. II., No. 13, of the same journal, 
paged 1-36, but by May the title is altered to that of — 
SCIENCE GOSSIP AND COUNTRY QUERIES AND NoteEs.t} 
and presumably to prevent confusion it is numbered vol. II, 
No. 2 and No. 14, and contains pages 37-96. By February, roro. 
appeared vol. II., No. 11 and 23, pages 473-516 which closed the 
volume, and an index and title page were issued later. 
* One hundred and forty-four plates in the ten parts.

~ This should not be confused with the publication issued by Hardwicke, etc., 
referred to elsewhere.
