THE BRITISH NATURALIST. [June, i8 94 . 



Grosvenor Museum are indicated, whilst the present place of deposit of the specimens 

 supporting some of the rarer records is duly set forth. Mr. R. Newstead, curator of the 

 Grosvenor Museum, besides contributing a Preliminary List of Mammals of the district, 

 which preserves many interesting observations, has a little monograph on The Heron and 

 Heronries of North Wales, in which with a great amount of information from other 

 sources, he has given the result of his own considerable research and experience. Of the 

 twelve recorded Cheshire heronries, only three have been recently in existence. In North 

 Wales, as might be expected, there are more, twelve (out of 19 recorded; being still in 

 existence. We congratulate the Society on the production of a valuable contribution to 

 local natural history.
