wliicli we have not yet dealt (notably the Marine Invertebrata and 
the Mosses and Lichens), still we have published 13* excellent 
lists which wo have endeavoured to keep up to date by means of 
appendices at the end of the five-yearly volumes, and, in addition 
to these, many observations on rare species will be found scattered 
throughout the pages of our ‘Transactions.’ Since we have kept 
those records, 8 Mammals, t now to the County, have been made 
known, 10 species of Birds, j also many species of Fishes, Insects, 
and Plants. 
Another feature which will lie observed in the live thick volumes 
which we have published, is the series of Memoirs of deceased 
Norfolk Naturalists, among whom are, Lilly Wigg, Richard Lubbock, 
William Arderon, F.R.S., Samuel Woodward, S. P. Woodward, 
John Scales, J. II. Gurney, and C. II. Rose; where possible, these 
memoirs are illustrated by portraits, that we may know what 
manner of men these pioneers of Norfolk Natural History were; 
there are also shorter notices of Blyth, Whitear, Sheppard, llov, 
Girdlestone, Iiainond, Marsham, Dawson 'Burner, Bryant, Pitcliford, 
and others, besides more or less full obituary notices of those who 
have been taken from us. We regard this as a very important part 
of our duty, and would that we knew more of some of the men in 
the humbler walks of life who, a century or more ago, devoted the 
brief hours which they could spare from the shuttle, not only to 
the cultivation of plants, the love of which they had probably 
inherited from their Dutch predecessors, but also to the more serious
