HERTFORDSHIRE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY 
AND FIELD CLUB. 
The objects of the Society are:—1. The investigation of the Meteorology, 
Geology, Botany, Zoology, and Pre-historic Archaeology of the County of Hertford. 
2. The publication of the results of such investigation made by its Members. 
3. The dissemination amongst its Members of information on Natural History 
and Microscopical Science. 4. The formation of a Library of works on Natural 
History, and of a Museum illustrative of the Geology, Botany, and Zoology of 
the County (the Yertebrata excepted). 5. The discouragement of the practice 
of removing rare plants from the localities of which they are characteristic, and 
of exterminating rare birds, fish, and other animals. 
The head-quarters of the Society are at the Watford Public Library. Here 
the Society has a Library of over 1200 volumes of Scientific Works, which are 
lent free to Members; and also a Museum, the chief feature of which is the 
Herbarium of the authors of the first Flora of the County, Messrs. Coleman 
and Webb. 
Evening meetings of the Society are held at the Watford Public Library at 
least once a month during the Winter and Spring. Evening meetings are also 
held occasionally at St. Albans, Hertford, Ware, and other places. Field 
meetings are held during the Spring and Summer in various parts of the County. 
Members pay an Entrance Fee of 10s., and an Annual Subscription of 10s., 
for which they may, if preferred, compound by a payment of £5. Ladies are
