MENACtERIE club year BOOK: G. Tyrwhitt 

 Drake. Cobtree ^lanor, Maidstone. Kent. 



The Year Book of the Amateur Menat;erie Club, which 

 has not been issued since 1917, makes a very welcome reappear- 

 ance, thoui^h it does not yet reach the bulk of pre-war times. 

 It nevertheless forms a very artistic and well got up httle 

 volume. Quite a feature of the issue are the charming marginal 

 sketches of Mr. G. Tyrwhitt Drake, the Hon. Secretary of the 

 Club. It contains practical and well illustrated articles as 

 under :

Notes on the Effect of the British Climate on some Exotic

It contains over twenty half-tone photo-reproductions of 

 great interest, and forms a most attractive and interesting 

 book of 108 pages.
