It is with regret that we have to record the death, on JJnd May, 

 1922, of Mr. F. G. Fenton, J. P., a well-known and much respected 

 resident of Nathalia, Victoria. 



Mr. Fenton was a lover of Nature and was particularly interest-

 home, "The Hut." Nathalia. He was a valued and esteemed 

 member of the Union. 



His death was the result of a long and painful illness. Our 

 sym])athv is extended to his relatives and wide circle of friends.

Reviews 



["Philippine Birds for Boys and Girls." By Richard C. McGregor and 

 Elizabeth J. Marshall, with illustrations by Macario Ligaya, Manilla 

 Bureau of Printing, 1922. \'.^ (>Hges, 82 illustrations including six well 

 drawn and well printed coloured jilates]. 



This well-illustrated, brightly written book makes a notable 

 contribution to nature-study literature. All the birds described 

 are Philippine species. Most of them are abundant in the islands, 

 and some are not found outside the islands. Care has been taken 

 to make the descriptions of birds, nests, eggs, and habits true 

 to life. The illustrations so clear and striking were specially 

 prepared for the book. 



Sevcr.-il of the birds treated, such as the Grass (^wl, the I'rown 

 T'.oobv, the Greater Man-of War (Frigate) P.ird. the Pacific 

 Golden Plover, the Island Painted Quail (King Quail), and
