Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of papers presented at monthly meetings of the Guernsey Society of Natural Science in 1890. Topics cover a wide range of subjects falling under the Society's primary focus of local research, including etymology, meteorology, paleontology, entomology, zoology, and botany, with an emphasis on the unique characteristics of the environment, flora, and fauna of Guernsey. The papers are presented in the order in which they were presented at the Society's meetings, offering a glimpse into the unfolding scientific discoveries and local lore of natural history in 19th century Guernsey. The contributors to this volume were leading figures in the scientific community of the Channel Islands in the late Victorian era, whose collaborative work and shared fascination with the natural world around them is evident throughout. This collection is an invaluable record of local scientific enquiry, revealing the depth and breadth of scientific knowledge and the intellectual curiosity that existed at that time on the island of Guernsey, a place where the study of natural history was a vibrant and active pursuit.
