The Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists’ Society has for 
its objects : — 
1. The practical study of Natural Science. 
2. The protection, by its influence with land-owners and others, of indigenous 
species requiring protection, and the circulation of information which may 
dispel prejudices leading to their destruction. 
3. The discouragement of the practice of destroying the rarer species of 
birds that occasionally visit the County, and of exterminating rare plants 
in their native localities . 
4. The record of facts and traditions connected with the habits, distribution, and 
former abundance or otherwise of animals and plants which have become 
extinct in the County ; and the use of all legitimate means to prevent the 
extermination of existing species, more especially those known to be 
diminishing in numbers. 
6. The publication of Papers on Natural History, contributed to the Society, 
especially such as relate to the County of Norfolk. 
6 . The facilitating a friendly intercourse between local Naturalists, by means of 
Meetings for the reading and discussion of papers and for the exhibition 
of specimens, supplemented by Field-meetings and Excursions, with a 
view to extend the study of Natural Science on a sound and systematic 
basis.
