NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE NATURALISTS’ FIELD CLUB.

Preface

The Publication Committee of the North Staffordshire Naturalists Field Club have much pleasure in issuing to their fellow-members a selection of Addresses and Papers read before the society, together with special contributions on the Fossil Fauna of the North Staffordshire Coalfield and the Entomology of the district.

The Committee regret that they have not been able to fulfil all the anticipations of the Prospectus. They have in hand two or three Papers which they regard— with the concurrence of the writers, they feel assured — as the nucleus of a second volume, to be published at some future time.

The Committee tender their best thanks to the contributors, to Dr. J. Barnard Davis for the loan of a number of valuable wood engravings, and to Mr. A. A. Bradbury for enriching the volume with an etching of Croxden Abbey.

Hanley, May, 1875.
