THE MEALY POUTER. 

 I iiivE seen in the columns of a contemporary Mr. "Wallace's 

 letter under the above heading. He starts with the conclnsiou 

 that I am both questioner and answerer referred to in the 

 " Letter Box " of this Journal. To make use of Mr. "Wallace a 

 own words, I give his conclusion the most " unqualified contra- 

 diction." I know neither one nor other, but in common with 

 many others was very much amused at the pithy style of the 

 reply. The letter referred to shows once more how a drownmg 

 man will catch at a straw, the complaint from beginning to end 

 is, that I was never a member of the North British Columbarian. 

 Neither Mr. Ure nor myself ever was or ever had auything to 

 do with its affairs, but I was one of the originators of the Society 

 of which the North British is only the remains— in fact, it is 

 the change of name alone upon which Mr. "Wallace builds his 

 " unqualified contradiction." The original name of this Society 

 was the " Scottish Ornithological ; " after Mr. Ure and rnyself 

 retired along with others the name of this Society was altered 

 to the " North British;" therefore anyone can at once see how 

 by forgetting the change of name the mistake has occurred.
