During the present year (1899) our late President, Mr.

 the purpose of studying the flora of that island. 



He has also, with the assistance of his brother, Mr. E. 

 P. Marquand, been most assiduous in collecting insects of all 

 orders, the result showing that Alderney is much richer in 

 insect life than was at first supposed, especially in the order 

 Hymenoptera. No less than 307 additions to the list published 

 in 1897 have been made. 



Mr. Fred. O. Pickard-Cambridge, B.A., has written a
