Abstract
THE original Bedfordshire Natural History Society and Field Club was founded in 1875 with fifty-nine members, and its proceedings were published in three volumes covering the years 1875-84. The Society ceased to exist about ten years later, and no record exists to show why a Society that held such promise should have ceased to function after such a short life. In October 1946 a new county Society was formed under the old name. The reports for 1946 and 1947 indicate that the Society has made a good start under Mr. Oliver Pike‘s presidency and should soon gain its rightful place among similar county societies in Britain. Copies of the Society‘s journals may be obtained from 11 The Avenue, Flitwick, Bedfordshire.
