in Latin, with, the title Praedium Rusticum ( 1554 ), incorporat- 
ing therein several small treatises which he had already 
issued on the subject. Jean Liebault (rendered by Surfleet 
as John Leibault) was his son-in-law, and published an 
edition of the book under the style of Li Agriculture et Maison 
Rustique ( 1564 ). The former part of the title was dropped 
in subsequent editions, and the book became famous as the 
Maison Rustique (cf. Brunet). Richard Surfleet, or Surflet, 
who appears to have been a “ practitioner in physicke,” the 
translator of the Maison Rustique , published his first edition, 
according to Lowndes, in 1600 . Gervase Markham’s edition 
of 1616 is the best-known one.

March 30 , 1833 , and educated at King’s College School, 
London. In 1855 , at the age of twenty- two, he was elected 
honorary secretary to the Norfolk and Norwich Museum, and 
held the post until his death. He was a frequent contributor 
of notes on occurrences of rare birds in Norfolk to the Zoolo- 
gist for 1853 and onwards, the first printed communication
