EXTRACT FROM PREFACE :— 
In the following pages an effort is made to indicate the various sources 
of information likely to be of service to a student in his work on’ any 
branch of natural science dealing with our broad-acred shire. The 
section arranged topographically under towns shows what has been 
accomplished in each place, while the remainder of the book is devoted 
to an enumeration of the general sources of information which should be 
consulted. Unfortunately, several of the items are scarce, in many cases 
only one set being known, a circumstance which has induced me to give 
the bibliographical details rather fully. By aseries of fortunate circum- 
stances, and as a result of several years’ collecting, I’ possess sets of most 
of the publications mentioned, and shall endeavour to arrange that 
they remain intact for the benefit of future workers, as it will certainly 
be very difficult, if not impossible, to get such a collection together again.
