_RABBITS AND WOODS. 175 
A correspondent who has given much attention to the subject 
(Salmoniceps) gives the following, as among the most rabbit-proof of 
plants :—“ Most of the Lily family are,” he says, “rejected by them, 
including Daffodils, Tulips, Snowdrops, Snowflakes, Lilies, Day Lilies, 
Asphodels, and others, and they cannot be too extensively planted ; 
but even in that tribe the Crocus (which is also named in the article 
in question) is greedily devoured. I gave—in an early number of 
your paper (see pp. 9 and 88, Vol. I.)—a list of all rabbit-proof trees, 
shrubs, and flowers then known to me, and I regret that, though keep- 
ing a watch upon the subject, 1 have not been able to add a single 
species to the list given below.”

Lists, however, and considerations of the above sort, are a poor 
substitute for what is really required in such cases—the extermination 
of pests which are destructive alike to field crops, to trees and shrubs, 
and to plants, and which offer at best a very scanty return for the 
havoc they commit.
