Excerpt from The Flora of Harrow The little work now presented to the reader has been entirely drawn up by Harrow boys, of whom four are still members of the school, and one has recently left it. The very full and interesting account of the Flora of Harrow, including the Ferns and Grasses, has been written by Mr. J. C. Melvill; the notices of the Birds were furnished hy'the Hlonbles. F. C. And G. O. M. Bridgeman; and the list of Butterflies was drawn up from the joint observations - of Mr. C. C. Parr and Mr. E. Heathfield. The publication of the book has solely arisen from a very strong desire to promote at Harrow an interest in Natural History, and to furnish our young naturalists with the permanent record of previous investigations, which have supplied a happy and innocent occupation to some of their contemporaries.
