for naturalists MEMBERS of Clith- eroe Naturalists were introduced to the work of some early Victorian pioneers in the field of natural history by Mr Trevor Pierce. This period produced
many scholarly books, illustrated with fine prints and meticulous sketches, and exquisitely hand- painted drawings of native and foreign flora and fauna. Many of the species described during this period are no longer extant. Mr Pierce went on to
recount how his own research into earthworms and the nature of soils led him to a deep interest in ferns, the very earliest and hardiest plants on the earth, which are presently, the subject of most interest. He ended a varied and illu minating talk with a few brief sketches of individual naturalists.
" After a vote of thanks from the chairman, Mr Brian Jones, members were able to inspect a selection of books and artefacts brought along by Mr Pierce. The next lecture will take
place at Clitheroe Library on Thursday at 7-30 p.m.
