JUNIOR DEPARTMENT. 

 The best work was done by G. L. Hodson, who, with twenty-nine 

 species in his collection, all but two being records, was very far ahead 

 of any other competitor. D. A. Sole came next with ten species. 



Hodson was successful in finding the Dipper's nest, and it is 

 worth notice how near to the town this bird, which we usually 

 associate with the wildest mountain streams, is fonnd. Both King- 

 fisher and Dipper habitually breed within the Parliamentary Borough 

 of Cheltenham.
