An island is a piece of land surrounded by water. This atlas is focussed on small and very small islands that fall below the system of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) within the European Union not having a fixed link to the European mainland. ESIN represents 1,640 such islands with a resident population of 359,357people. These small islands have 3-4 million summer residents and ten times as many visitors, which creates a heavy human pressure on the islands’ social, technical and ecological systems.

THE death of Dr. Hardy, which took place at his residence at Oldcambus Town Head, in the Parish of Cockburnspath, Berwickshire, on Friday, the 3Oth of September, 1898, has caused a blank in the ranks of Scottish Naturalists, which will not be easily filled.
