Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Naturalist in Bermuda: A Sketch of the Geology, Zoology, and Botany, of That Remarkable Group of Islands; Together With Meteorological Observations
IN publishing this little book, containing the first account ever submitted to the public of the Natural History of the Bermudas, the author trusts that its numerous and necessary imperfections will meet with the lenient consideration of his readers, and more particularly of learned naturalists, who are requested to regard this first effort as a small and humble contribution to the present state of natural knowledge, and as a prelude to a more complete publication on the same subject.
The author has to return his thanks to many kind friends for their generous endeavours to aid the progress of the work; more especially to Major wedderburn and Mr. Hurdis, who laid their notes and observations, made during many years' residence on the Islands, entirely at his dis posal, and have otherwise greatly assisted in the formation of the volume.
