THE ANCIENT FAUNA OF ESSEX.

By HENRY WOODWARD, LL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S.,

Keeper of the Department of Geology, British Museum (Natural History).

[A Lecture delivered to the members of the Club, at the British Museum of Natural History, South Kensington, on Saturday, May 13th, 1882.)

THE Essex Field Club is fortunate in being located in a suburban district where an open space is reserved of a larger extent than that of all the parks and pleasuregrounds of the metropolis united. Six of the larger parks combined do not contain more than 1800 acres, whereas Epping Forest still claims between five and six thousand acres. To your Society now belongs in some degree the task of jealously guarding for the public that wide tract of woodland which has been so munificently bestowed on the people of London. The trees and wild plants need friendly care and fostering, and if, as it is to be hoped, our native song-birds and animals are to have a fair chance of existence, “nor gun, nor snare, nor limed twig" should be permitted by the Conservators and Verderers within their domains.

1 [Much inconvenience having been occasioned in cataloguing and referring to our publications by shortened titles which by no means represent the scope of the Society, the Council has authorised the Editor to use the above words in future in the Transactions' and other issues of the Club. Writers and cataloguers making references to our publications are requested to quote them as "Transactions" or "Proceedings " (as the case may be) of "The Essex Field Club," the present part being the commencement of the third volume.—ED.]
