Excerpt from Rough Notes and Memoranda: Relating to the Natural History of the Bermudas IN giving these Notes to the public, I think it right to state that some of them have already appeared in a little work, entitled, The Naturalist in Bermuda, by the late John Mathew Jones, published in 1859; Mr. Jones having first visited Bermuda in '1854. Although my father landed in the Bermudas in October, (840, it was not until September, 1846, that he really commenced his Notes on the natural history of the islands; the responsibilities of his office being very onerous during those first six years, he was then prevented. But in 1846, circumstances having changed, he was more at liberty to follow his own inclinations than hitherto. The late Mr. Hunt Marriott, then an officer in the same department, being, like my father, imbued with a taste for natural science, observing that he thought it was a pity so little was known of the natural history of the islands, my father proposed an effort should' be made to work it out; whereupon Mr. Marriott at once offered his assistance, saying he would do his best in collecting and describing the various forms of insect life, if my father would take the birds; and so far as my father individually was con concerned, he continued it up to the period of his departure from Bermuda, in May, 1855.
