Rawlings (F. C.), viv. (?) 
The author of the undernoted work, a resident of Bar- 
mouth, appears to have written little else on our subject, 
although he had some “Notes from Barmouth” in the Ornitho- 
logist for 1896.

R[awson] (H. E.) 
This writer, who resided at Bromley Common, Kent, and 
who afterwards removed to Windermere is responsible for 
the undernoted, which consists of four pages of pink paper 
on which are printed the names of 94 birds, and the dates of 
the “ earliest arrivals in this neighbourhood of Migratory 
Birds for the last thirty years ” (1845-74). It is signed 
H. E. R.

Ray (John), 1627-1705 
Ray, the “ founder of modern zoology,” the “ greatest 
botanist in the memory of man,” was born at Black Notley, 
Essex, in the autumn of 1627, possibly on November 20. 
The date of his birth has been erroneously ascribed both to 
November 29, 1627, and to the same day in 1628, the error 
arising from the fact that on the same page of the parish 
register at Black Notley are recorded the baptisms of two 
John Rays in the successive years of 1627 and 1628. They 
run as follows : 
(1627) John, [son] of Roger and Elizabeth Ray, December 
6 . 
(1628) John, son of Thomas and Dorothie Wray, bapt. 
June 29.
