 Ireland, had its headquarters at Marlborough, and the staff-sergeants 

 were quartered in the houses which to this day are known as 

 " Militia Court." There has been a Militia Lodge at least since 1807, 

 and this became the Lodge of Loyalty, Marlborough, until it ceased to 

 exist in 1834. It was re-constituted in 1876. The pamphlet, which is 

 excellently printed, ends with lists of members 1817—1828 and a series 

 of short biographies of Charles Ivoff, Valentine Day, William Reason, 

 John Eyre, John Iludman, Thomas lloff, John W. Brockway, Edward

No. 57. Marlborough, 1910. 



In the botanical section, Violo, cornuta is noted as having established 

 itself in several large clumps in that part of the Forest adjoining 

 Bedwyn Common, and Sedum dasyphyllum on an old wall at Ramsbury, 

 of course in both cases these must have been escapes from gardens 

 originally. Eight species of Lejndoptera new to the district are recorded ; 

 the total number of species now on the list is 1 169. The Blue-headed 

 Wagtail {Motacilla flava) has again been observed in the meadows 

 where they hatched their young, and the Common Snipe is recorded to 

 have nested in 1910 both at Axford and at Chilton. No nest has ever 

 been recorded in the neighbourhood before. 



A photograph of Ramsbury Manor Bridge is given. 



The rainfall of Marlborough in 1909 was 32 '64 inches, the corrected
