"Lubbock's volume, written five-and-thirty years 

 ago, has long been out of print and scarce ; and the 

 reliable nature of the information which it affords 

 has for some time rendered a new edition a desider- 

 atum with naturalists. A new edition h?.s at length 

 appeared, edited by Mr. Thomas Southwell, of 

 Norwich, who has made some valuable additions of 

 his own in the shape of notes on the existing mam- 

 malia of Norfolk, and on decoys past and present in 

 the county, prefaced by a memoir of the author by 

 Mr. Henry Stevenson, and supplemented by some 

 interesting notes on Hawking in Norfolk, from the 

 pen of Professor Newton." — The Field. 



" In addition to the intrinsic merits of the book, of 

 which we can personally speak in the superlative 

 degree as one of the most plea.santly wTitten of the 

 many pleasant natural history books our language is 

 so rich in, describing, as it does, the ' Broad District' 

 — a country unhke any other part of England, and a 

 very paradise to the botanist, entomologist, and 

 ornithologist— this new edition is edited by Mr. 

 Thomas Southwell, the active Secretary of the 

 Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists' Society, whose 

 full and accurate knowledge of the natural history of 

 Norfolk better tits him for the task than any other 

 man we know of." — Science Gossip. 



" While Mr. Lubbock's personal observations were 

 chiefly directed to the neighbourhood of the Broads, 

 the editor has endeavoured to make the work as 

 comprehensive in its scope as possible, and he includes 

 the district known as Lothingland, between Lowestoft 

 and Yarmouth, which, though in Suffolk, belongs 

 geographically to Norfolk.'' — Midland Naturalist. 



"We promise to those who have never yet read 

 this book, a rare treat from its perusal." — Zoologist. 



" We can scarcely speak too highly of the way in 

 which this volume has been ' got up,' and the 

 }>ublishers have added such a map as has never yet 

 been executed of this county, showing, as it does, 

 not only the rivers and broads, and other principal 

 pieces of water, but the sites of heronries and decoys 

 (used or disused), gulleries, and other localities, 

 having a special mterest for Naturalists." — Norfolk 

 Chronicle. 



" Tlie 'Fauna' is a bouk which everyone should 

 read who desires to know something of the natural 

 history of ^oxio\Ss.."— Norfolk News. 



"Absolutely rehable and authoritative as a work of 

 reference, and invaluable to every naturalist and 

 ornithologist," — Live Slock Journal.
