Sixpence. Salisbury : published by A. Sinee, 48, Silver Street, and R. 

 R. Edwards, 4, Castle Street. Wrappers. 8^ x 5£. Pp. 88. 



The numerous illustrations, most of them very fair full-page re- 

 productions of photos, are alone quite worth the money charged for the 

 guidebook. They are : — A General View of the City — Sketch Map of 

 Salisbury and the Camps — The Close Gate — View of Cathedral from Bridge 

 —from N.E.— from West -The Nave— The Screen— The Choir— The 

 Chapter House — The Palace — Blue Boar Row — Council House -In- 

 firmary — Poultry Cross — County Hotel - St. Thomas's Church — St. 

 Edmund's Church — St. Martin's Church— St. Paul's Church — Congrega- 

 tional Church — Stonehenge — Old Sarum — Amesbury Bridge — Amesbury 

 Church — Amesbury Village — WiltonPark, WiltonHouse — Wilton Church 

 — Longford Castle — Bemerton Church — Bulford Village — Bulford 

 Camp, Soldiers' Home — Parkhouse Camp. 



The letterpress seems to give as much information as the ordinary 

 tourist desires, and as regards the Cathedral it enters a good deal into 

 detail, especially in the case of the more recent gifts. Altogether a good 

 sixpennyworth.

Marlborough College Natural History Society, 



Report for the year 1902. The preface notes that a 

 collection of Diptera is being formed, and that the collection of Coleoptera 

 is being thoroughly re-organised. An account of the field-days at 

 Tidcombe, Allcannings, Bagshot, Chilton Foliat, and Broad Hinton is 

 given, and the reports of the various sections follow. The Botanical 

 Section reports Marrubium vulgare and Melissa officinalis, both probably 

 recently naturalised, Hesperis matronalis, Silene Gallica, Apium inun- 

 datum, Solidago virgaurea, Dorago officinalis, Lycopsis arvensis, and 

 Orchis pyramidalis. Four hundred and nine species of flowers were 

 observed in bloom. 



The Entomological Section reports excellent work. Ten new species 

 of Lepidoptera have been added to the list, which now numbers eleven 

 hundred and thirty-four, whilst the list of Coleoptera numbers eight 

 hundred and seventeen. 



In the way of birds, a ring ouzel's nest was found in the forest, and 

 two bitterns are noted as having been shot at Chilton. Amongst the 

 illustrations are "Pool in Savernake Forest," and "The Kennet above 

 Preshute."
