Field Notes. 375 
We observe a note of a resolution to ‘ignore’ the first part 
of the Transactions, the reason assigned being the erratic 
pagination, and a suggestion to reprint two of the papers in it. 
Might we suggest that from a bibliographical point of view 
there can be no ignoring by a Society of a portion of its own 
publications, especially so excellent a part as the one referred 
to, and from a practical point of view, that with so great a 
wealth of material in a county like Lincolnshire, it would be 
wisest to utilise funds in printing fresh papers rather than 
reprinting former ones ? R.
