THE LONDON BIOLOGICAL CLUB. 



This club, which was formed on Februar}^ 6th last, has twenty 

 chartered members. It is the intention to hold monthly meet- 

 ings and conduct field excursions. On March 6th, Dr. Kill, of 

 the Institute of Public Health, gave an address on" Life", and 

 on April 3rd Dr. Woolverton delivered a lecture on "The 

 Mammoth Cave". 



Recently the club presented a memorial to the Honourable 

 Minister of Game and Fisheries, Toronto, which called attention 

 to many native birds which have become seriously depleted in 

 numbers, chiefly owing to shooting by sportsmen and others. 

 Direction was drawn to the scarcity of quail in certain localities 

 and the hope, expressed that continuous protection be given so 

 that the birds would have every chance to recover, in time, 

 their former numbers. Other birds mentioned were the Eagle, 

 Fish Hawk and Great Blue Heron, which have now become 

 exceedingly rare. Many of the beneficial smaller birds are also 

 in need of protection. In the opinion of the club, the easiest 

 way to increase the amount of protection given by the present 

 laws is to enact and enforce a license for all firearms except 

 military rifles, which would prevent a great deal of the thought- 

 less slaughter at present carried on. 



It was also suggested that the Government purchase 

 abandoned woods and other cheap areas of land and marsh on 

 which hunting could be prohibited, thereby forming breeding 

 sanctuaries. 



The officers of the London Biological Club are: President, 

 Dr. H. W. Hill; Vice-President, Dr. S. Woolverton; Curator, 

 Mr. J. F. Calvert; Secretary -Treasurer, Mr. J. W. Noble. 



We extend to this new sister clul) our warmest greetings 

 and best wishes for success in all branches of its work. The 

 motto of the club, "Learn to live and live to learn," is an ideal 

 one. A. G.
