Abstract
THE Cambridge University Press was well advised in j adopting Sir Francis Darwin's suggestion to rejmblish i this Calendar. Lists such as those compiled by 1 Blomefield not only assist the amateur naturalist, 1 but are of real value as contributions to the science of phenology. A collection of such Calendars embodying the notes of some of the scores of observers scattered over the British Isles, and based on a consecutive series of years, would probably add not a little, in the hands of a central receiver, to our knowledge of the movements of birds, the awakening of vegetation, and other phenomena dependent upon the seasons.
