PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. 
 
 THE little work now presented to the reader has been 
 entirely drawn up by Harrow boys, of whom four are still 
 members of the school, and one has recently left it. The 
 very full and interesting account of the Flora of Harrow, 
 including the Ferns and Grasses, has been written by 
 Mr. J. C. Melvill ; the notices of the Birds were furnished 
 by the Honbles. F. C. and G. 0. M. Bridgeman ; and 
 the list of Butterflies was drawn up from the joint 
 observations of Mr. C. C. Parr and Mr. E. Heathfield. 
 The publication of the book has solely arisen from a very 
 strong desire to promote at Harrow an interest in Natural 
 History, and to furnish our young naturalists with .the 
 permanent record of previous investigations, which have 
 supplied a happy and innocent occupation to some of their 
 contemporaries. 
 
 It may seem a very simple and commonplace task to 
 draw up such lists as these ; nevertheless to do so with 
 any accuracy requires an earnest and long-continued 
 research, and it is hoped that by indicating the localities 
 where so many of the rarest flowers, birds, butterflies, 
 and moths may be discovered, our youthful authors have 
 saved much trouble and disappointment to future collectors. 
 And although the sketches presented in the following 
 
 717 
 
IV PKEFACE. 
 
 pages cannot pretend to completeness, they may prove 
 useful in preparing the way for some more perfect work 
 hereafter. Such a work which would be both useful and 
 interesting, will be greatly facilitated if any Harrovian 
 interested in Natural History will be so good as to furnish 
 us with details of any observations not noticed by those 
 whose researches are here placed at the disposal of the 
 inhabitants and of the school. 
 
 It must be admitted that at first sight Harrow does 
 not appear to offer to the botanist a favourable scene for 
 his pursuits. We have here little or no variety of soil, 
 and little or no variety of cultivation. The combination 
 of clay, and pasture land, has not much to provide in the 
 shape of an interesting flora, and most of our rarest 
 plants are not to be obtained without the trouble of 
 walking some miles to find them. A few indeed occur in 
 Harrow Park, in the Grove, and on the Railway Embank- 
 ment ; but the collector will obtain but a poor herbarium 
 unless he be content to stroll at least as far as Horsington 
 Lane, the Greenford Canal, and the Pinner Drives. 
 To get at the choicest botanical hunting -fields he must 
 prolong his walks to Pinner and Oxhey Woods, to the 
 Ruislip Reservoir, to the banks of the River Brent, and 
 above all to Harrow Weald Common, at which place his 
 diligence cannot fail to be well rewarded. It happens un- 
 fortunately that even in these places our chief treasures 
 are both extremely local, and very sparsely scattered; 
 we cannot therefore refrain from expressing our earnest 
 hope that no Harrovian will ever give way to that 
 botanical greed which has led so many botanists to 
 extirpate in many parts of England our most unfrequent 
 and interesting varieties. We fear that the caution is 
 
PREFACE. V 
 
 only too much needed, since already one of our hand- 
 somest flowers, the Geranium Phceum, or Dusky Crane's 
 Bill, has disappeared, or nearly so, from a habitat 
 in which we had discovered it some three years ago ; 
 and we could name several other flowers which are 
 incurring a similar peril. We hear that, among others, a 
 London Botanist has even made a raid on the beautiful 
 but rare Fritillarias which lend such interest to one or 
 two localities in the neighbourhood of Pinner. We 
 cannot avoid these depredations, but we hope that every 
 Harrovian who studies botany may be so much impressed 
 with the injury done to any neighbourhood by extirpating 
 one of its scarce plants, that he would forego any speci- 
 men, however choice, rather than run the risk of giving 
 a flower no chance of fairly establishing itself. The 
 spirit of the same remark applies with at least equal 
 force to the practice of robbing the nests of our rarer 
 birds. Much might be done to preserve these interesting 
 visitors if we were only content to treat them with a little 
 more hospitality ; and no one can pretend to a real love 
 for Natural History unless he does his best to suppress 
 that ruthless and wholesale robbery of nests which is 
 systematically carried on by some boys of the neighbour- 
 hood. If it continues we shall soon lose from Harrow 
 even the Nightingales which now furnish one of the most 
 delightful enjoyments of our summer days.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. 
 
 DURING the twelve years which have elapsed since the 
 first edition of this Flora was published, considerable 
 progress has been made towards a fuller knowledge of the 
 Botany of Harrow and its neighbourhood. Between 1864 
 and 1869, when the Flora of Middlesex was published, 
 several plants of interest were found, the Rev. Dr. Farrar 
 being one of the principal discoverers. The results of 
 these discoveries are recorded in this latter work. Its 
 Authors, Dr. Trimen and Professor W. Thiselton Dyer, 
 have largely contributed to a full and accurate knowledge 
 of the botany of the district. New plants have been added, 
 new localities noted, the researches of other botanists in- 
 vestigated and set down; a few errors in the former edition 
 of this work have been brought to light, while its general 
 correctness has been confirmed. Free use has been made 
 in this edition of the hoarded wealth of the "Flora of 
 Middlesex," and the Editor gratefully acknowledges the 
 ample return received for any assistance rendered to its 
 Authors, either by himself or by the first edition of this 
 work. 
 
PREFACE. VU 
 
 Since the publication of the " Flora of Middlesex," 
 seventeen new plants have been added to the Harrow 
 Flora. Thirteen of these have been contributed by the 
 Editor, of which Pyrola minor, L., Juncus diffusus, 
 Hoppe, and Cystopteris fragilis are new to the county. 
 W. A. Tooke, Esq., has added Helianthemum vulgar e, 
 GsBrtn., and Habenaria viridis, R. Br. both to the local 
 and county Flora. The Rev. E. Brewer has fortunately 
 rediscovered Litorella lacustris, L., and so restored to the 
 county a plant supposed to have been lost. Mr. Gunn 
 and others have added to our knowledge of already re- 
 corded plants, by the mention of new sites. The Editor 
 returns his grateful acknowledgments to all who have 
 assisted in bringing the knowledge of the local Flora to 
 its present advanced state. 
 
 The district comprised in this Flora is slightly within 
 the limits of the map, except on the north-east, where it 
 somewhat exceeds the boundaries of the map, so as to take 
 in the whole of Harrow Weald and Stanmore Parishes. 
 The county boundary is the northern limit of the district. 
 A few plants occurring between this limit and the Colne 
 are given in an Appendix. 
 
 The Preface to the First Edition, written by the Rev. 
 Dr. Farrar, is given in part only, the last clause being 
 inapplicable to this present Edition. 
 
 Lists of the ascertained Charse, Mosses and Liverworts 
 of the Harrow district have been inserted. Sufficient 
 attention has not been given to the Lichens and Fungi to 
 make it desirable to set down those that are known ; as 
 meagre lists would necessarily be disappointing to all who 
 might desire information with respect to them. 
 
 It has been a source of much personal regret to the 
 
Vlll PREFACE. 
 
 Author, that, since the time he left the School in July, 
 1864, he has been but rarely able to revisit Harrow, and 
 then under such circumstances only as did not admit much, 
 if any, scope for Botanical research. His want of oppor- 
 tunity has, however, been more than counterbalanced by 
 the most valuable co-operation of the Editor.

 the plant in one of its habitats, and the excavating for gravel

 BIKDS OF HARROW. 
 
 FALCONID^E. 
 
 KESTREL. (Falco tinnunculus.) 
 SPARROW HAWK. (Falco nisus.} 
 
 A nest of the Sparrow Hawk was taken in the Mount, 
 during the spring of 1861, situated at the top of a Scotch 
 fir. 
 
 Found at Ruislip June 3rd, 1875. 
 
 MERLIN. (Falco cesalon.) 
 HOBBY. (Falco subbuteo.) 
 BUZZARD. (Falco buteo.) 
 
 Of these five the two first only have come under my 
 own immediate notice, but the others have been occasion- 
 ally seen about here. 
 
 STRIOID^E. 
 
 Of this tribe there are only two representatives here : 
 
 BARN OWL. (Strix flammea.) 
 BROWN OWL. (Strix aluco.) 
 
 A nest of this bird was found in the Grove, in the 
 hollow of a tree, during the spring of 1862. 
 
140 TURDID^B. 
 
 LANIAD^E. 
 
 RED-BACKED SHRIKE. (Lanius collurio.) 
 
 Very common. 
 
 The Red-Backed Shrike, or Butcher bird, is by no 
 means uncommon at Harrow, though a rare visitor in the 
 midland counties, and scarcely ever seen in the north of 
 England. It first arrives in this neighbourhood towards 
 the end of April or beginning of May, and leaves it again 
 in September. The food of this bird consists of cock- 
 chafers, beetles, grasshoppers, and such like insects ; it 
 also occasionally makes a meal of a small bird ; its food is 
 impaled on thorns previous to being eaten. I have found 
 an unfledged bird impaled in this manner, half devoured, 
 which shows that even nests are not safe from the depre- 
 dations of these well-named Butcher birds. 
 
 MUSCICAPID^:. 
 
 SPOTTED FLYCATCHER. (Muscicapa Griseola.} 
 This bird is very common here. 
 
 PIED FLYCATCHER. (Muscicapa atricapilla.) 
 
 I know of one authenticated instance of the occurrence 
 of this rare bird here : a nest with three eggs was taken 
 in the Grove, about the year 1836, and the eggs are still 
 preserved. 
 
 None since 1873. 
 
 TUKDID.E, 
 MISSEL THRUSH. (Turdus viscivorus.) 
 
PARIDJ3. 141 
 
 FIELDFARE. ( Turdus pilaris.) 
 
 This bird is only a visitor here, remaining with us 
 during the winter months, and departing northwards for 
 breeding purposes about the beginning or middle of April . 
 
 SONG THRUSH. (Turdus musicus.} 
 
 Common. 
 
 On the 24th of May, 1862, I found an egg of this bird 
 near Pinner Drive, perfectly spotless. 
 
 REDWING. (Turdus iliacus.) 
 
 This bird, like the Fieldfare, only remains with us 
 during the winter, departing in March. 
 
 BLACKBIRD. ( Turdus merula.) 
 
 PARID^E. 
 
 Of the seven species which compose this tribe, I have 
 noticed five at Harrow. 
 
 GREAT TITMOUSE. (Parus major.) 
 Very common. 
 
 BLUE TITMOUSE. (Parus cceruleus.) 
 Common. 
 
 COLE TITMOUSE. (Parus ater.) 
 
 I found a nest of this bird in a hole in a barn, during 
 the spring of 1862, containing young birds nearly fledged. 
 One since 1873. Park. (R. B. H.) 
 
142 
 
 MARSH TITMOUSE. (Parus palustris.} 
 
 One in Harrow Grove, three years ago. (R. B. H.) 
 None since 1873. 
 
 LONG-TAILED TITMOUSE. (Parus caudatus.) 
 
 One or two, Harrow Weald. 
 
 I found a nest of the Bumbarrel, as the Long-tailed 
 Tit is called, in this neighbourhood, in the Football Field, 
 towards the end of March, 1863. 
 
 SYLVIAD.E. 
 
 HEDGES? ARROW. (Accentor modularis.} 
 
 ROBIN. (Sylvia rubecula.} 
 REDSTART. (Sylvia phcenicurus.) 
 STONECHAT. (Sylvia rubicola.) 
 WHINCHAT. (Sylvia rubetra.) 
 
 The Whinchat, as well as the Stonechat, is very com- 
 mon here during the summer, and may be seen in almost 
 every field. A favourite situation for their nests is the 
 banks of the Railway, where they build in large numbers. 
 
 WHEATEAR. (Sylvia cenanthe.} 
 Two seen near Mutton Lane, March, 1875. 
 
 GRASSHOPPER WARBLER. (Sylvia locustella.) 
 
 I found, during the spring of 1861, a nest of this bird, 
 situated in some low brambles ; it contained six eggs 
 slightly incubated, five of which are still in my possession. 
 
 None since 1873. 
 
SYLVIAD^. 143 
 
 SEDGE WARBLER. (Sylvia phragmitis.} 
 
 Not common. 
 
 During the spring of 1860, I obtained a nest of this 
 bird, containing two eggs, at the old Duck-puddle. 
 Two nests found near Pinner, 1875. 
 
 NIGHTINGALE. (Sylvia luscinia.) 
 
 Pretty common. 
 
 Nightingales are very plentiful here in the summer 
 time, and I have found several of their nests every year. 
 
 BLACKCAP. (Sylvia atricapilla.} 
 
 Pretty common. Pinner Lane, Oxhey Wood, etc. 
 To be found in most of the copses about here. 
 
 GARDEN WARBLER. (Sylvia hortensis.) 
 Occasional. Harrow Weald. 
 
 WHITETHROAT. (Sylvia cinerea.) 
 Very common. 
 
 LESSER WHITETHROAT. (Sylvia curruca.) 
 
 Common. 
 
 Nearly as common as the Greater Whitethroat. 
 
 WOOD WREN. (Sylvia sibilatrix.} 
 
 Rare, but occasionally met with. 
 None since 1873. 
 
144 
 
 WILLOW WREN. (Sylvia trochylus.} 
 Common. 
 
 CHIFF-CHAFF. (Sylvia rufa.} 
 Oxhey Wood, fairly common. 
 
 GOLDEN-CRESTED REGULUS. (Regulus cristatus.} 
 
 MOTACILLTD^S. 
 PIED WAGTAIL. (Motacilla Yarellii.} 
 
 Occasional. 
 
 RAY'S WAGTAIL. (Motacilla campestris.} 
 
 Near Pinner Road, one nest, 1875. 
 Frequently met with in pairs during the summer 
 months. 
 
 A N T H I D JE . 
 
 TREE PIPIT. (Anthm arboreus.} 
 Oxhey Wood. Common. 
 
 MEADOW PIPIT. (Anthus pratensis.} 
 Very common, and are caught in large numbers by the 
 birdcatcher. 
 
 ROCK PIPIT. (Anthus olscurus.) 
 A specimen of the Rock Pipit was caught by the 
 birdcatcher here during November, 1862; being uncertain 
 
FRINGILLID^E. 145 
 
 what kind of pipit this was, I skinned it and took some 
 trouble to discover its right name, it proved to be without 
 doubt the Anthus obscurus. The Rock Pipit though 
 common on the sea coast is very rarely seen so far inland 
 as Harrow. 
 
 None since 1873. 
 
 ALAUDID^E. 
 
 SKY LARK. (Alauda arvensis.) 
 Common. 
 
 WOOD LARK. (Alauda arbor ea.) 
 
 EMBERIZ1DJ5.

 YELLOW HAMMER. (Emberiza citrinella.) 
 
 FBINGILLID.E. 
 
 CHAFFINCH. (Fringilla Calebs.} 
 BRAMBLING. (Fringilla montif ring ilia.) 
 
 Caught occasionally by the birdcatcher during the flight 
 time. 
 
 None since 1873. 
 o 
 
146 FRINGILLID^. 
 
 TREE SPARROW. (Fringilla montana.} 
 
 Uncommon, but seen occasionally in small flocks during 
 the winter. 
 
 HOUSE SPARROW. (Fringilla domestica.} 
 Common. 
 
 GREENFINCH. (Fringilla Moris.} 
 Common. 
 
 HAWFINCH. (Fringilla cocothraustes.} 
 
 This neighbourhood seems to be rather a favourite 
 place of resort for these birds, though they are not com- 
 mon in most places, and they seem to be rather on the 
 increase than the contrary. On the 7th of May, 1863, 
 I saw a nest of the Hawfinch situated at the top of a 
 tall apple tree in the Grove, containing five eggs : it was 
 composed of small sticks and twigs, slightly lined with 
 hay and one or two feathers. 
 
 One found since 1873. (Mr. Stuart's.) 
 
 GOLDFINCH. (Fringilla carduelis.} 
 None since 1873. 
 
 SISKIN. (Fringilla spinus.) 
 Do not breed here. 
 
 LINNET. (Fringilla cannabina.) 
 Common. 
 
 LESSER REDPOLE. (Fringilla linaria.} 
 
 Very common during the winter. Does not breed in 
 general here. 
 
CORVIDJE. 147 
 
 MEALY REDPOLE. (Fringilla borealis.} 
 
 Not common, although some are seen most years during 
 the winter, and are occasionally caught. 
 
 TWITE. (Fringilla montium.} 
 
 Occasionally caught during the months of October, 
 November, and December, when they arrive here from 
 the north. 
 
 BULLFINCH. (Loxia pyrrhula.) 
 
 Common. 
 
 A pied Bullfinch was caught here during the winter of 
 1862; it was a hen bird, with patches of white about the 
 crown of the head and both wings. 
 
 CROSSBILL. (Loxia curvirostra.) 
 
 A female Crossbill was caught alive here during Sep- 
 tember, 1863, by A. Fuller, Esq. 
 
 STUKNID^E. 
 
 STARLING. (Slurnus vulgaris.) 
 Very common. 
 
 CORVID^E. 
 
 CROW. (Corvus corone.) 
 Common. Very numerous about here. 
 
 ROOK. (Corvus frugilegus.) 
 Common. 
 
148 CERTHIAMJ. 
 
 JACKDAW. (Corvus monedula.) 
 Not very common. 
 
 MAGPIE. ( Corvus pica.) 
 
 Occasional. Two since 1873, near the Range. 
 Not very common close round Harrow, owing to the 
 scarcity of covers. 
 
 JAY. ( Corvus glandarius.) 
 
 Jays are frequently seen in the Park, where nearly 
 every year a nest is built. 
 
 PICID.E. 
 
 GREEN WOODPECKER. (Picus viridis.) 
 LESSER SPOTTED WOODPECKER. (Picus minor.) 
 
 Specimens of both the Green and Lesser-spotted Wood- 
 peckers were shot by Edward Palmer, when gardener to 
 the late Mr. Cunningham. 
 
 Often heard in spring in Harrow Grove and in Dr. 
 Butler's Garden. Makes a sound exactly like that of a 
 tree creaking when it is about to fall. 
 
 WRYNECK. ( Yunx torquilla.) 
 
 Not uncommon. The country people call it " Cuckoo's 
 mate." 
 
 CERTHIAD^E. 
 
 CREEPER. ( Certhia familiaris.) 
 Occasional. 
 
HIRUNDINIMJ. 149 
 
 WREN. (Troglodytes Europaus.} 
 Common. 
 
 NUTHATCH. (Sitta Europaa.) 
 
 Fairly common. Common where any large trees are 
 found. 
 
 CUCULID.E. 
 CUCKOO. ( Cuculus canorus.) 
 
 Common. 
 
 HALCYONID^E. 
 
 KINGFISHER. (Alcedo ispida.)
