Taking England first, we find that, while some counties (such 

 as Cornwall, Durham, Devon, Essex, Norfolk, Northumberland, 

 and Yorkshire) have been pretty fully treated, a number of 

 important counties do not appear at all in the list. These are 

 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Mon- 

 mouth, Nottingham, and Surrey. Moreover, the information 

 under some other counties is very inadequate, as Cheshire, 

 Bedford, Cambridge, Hereford, Huntingdon, Kent, Lincoln, 

 Northampton, Oxford, Warwick, and Wilts. As regards Wales, 

 it is remarkable how little has been printed. The mammals of 

 Scotland seem to have been particularly well observed and cata- 

 logued. Every Scottish county, with eight exceptions (Ayr, 

 Dumfries, Elgin, Kincardine, Kinross, Nairn, Renfrew, and Wig- 

 town), appears in the list, though Inverness, Ross, and some 

 others have received but inadequate attention. Ireland seems 

 to have been much neglected. Only seven counties have been 

 dealt with, and it may be said that the Catalogue does not 

 indicate more than two good modern lists.
