At the November meeting of the Natural History Society a 

 series of lantern slides, made by the Lumiere process of color 

 photography and loaned by the Philadelphia Museums, was 

 demonstrated in comparison with hand-colored slides, loaned by 

 Mr. F. M. Woodruff, of the Chicago Academy of Sciences. The 

 Museum would find a set of colored lantern slides of common 

 local birds, prepared by either process, of great value in its work 

 with the schools and the Natural History Society. 



The specimens which the Natural History Society recently 

 voted to purchase for the local bird collection of the Museum 

 have been ordered for delivery in time for the January meeting. 

 The seasonal exhibit of local birds will be transferred, before the 

 December meeting, to storage cases in the new building, where 

 they will be accessible to members of the Society, though not on 

 public exhibition. 



A handsome specimen of the Southern Fox Squirrel (Sciurus 

 niger) has been received from Mrs. J. M. Moseley of Charleston. 

 This specimen came from this state and had been in captivity 

 for eight years.
