the naturalists of the city and county, and in attracting tlie attention 
of many living at a distance, who have kmdly contributed papers 
to our monthly meetings. Allow me, at the same time, to urge 
those who have hitherto been such zealous supporters not to allow 
their zeal to diminish; and to those who have as yet been unable to 
favour us with contributions, may I venture to express a hope that 
they will, in the future, do their part to lend a helping hand to the 
Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists’ Society.
