Excerpt from Nature's Diary I know very well that l have omitted many birds and flowers that will be looked for by some per sons, and I can only try to disarm criticism by apologizing in advance and by saying, once for all, that Nature's Diary is not in any sense a complete record of her doings. For indispensable assistance in arranging the floral calendar, my thanks are due to the well known botanists Walter Deane, Esq, Frederick Le Roy Sargent, Esq, and Henry A. Purdie, Esq. And I must also express my gratitude to William Brewster, Esq, and Henry M.
