Abstract
A PUBLICATION entitled “St. Kilda Papers 1931” has just been issued, and contains, in addition to a foreword, bibliography and large-scale map, reprints of eleven papers previously published in various scientific journals. These papers, which deal with the mice, the breeding birds, the early autumn migration in 1931, the St. Kilda wren, the Coleoptera, the flora and the vegetation of St. Kilda, comprise the chief scientific results of an expedition to the island in the summer of 1931, the year following the evacuation of the islanders. As “St. Kilda Papers 1931” is limited to an edition of only fifty copies, none is available for sale; but as the publication is intended as a basis for any future scientific work on the island, twenty-five copies have been presented to leading public libraries and to the libraries of learned scientific societies for reference purposes. Any further information relative to this publication or to the deposition of the library copies can be obtained from Mr. Malcolm Stewart, Hawridge Court, Nr. Chesham, Bucks.
