alluded to as examples that might well be copied. The com- 
mittee for cataloguing pre-historic remains suggested that on the 
discovery of such remains a communication should be sent to the 
committee, so that the residents in the locality may be assisted 
and directed in their efforts. The meeting was adjourned to 
Tuesday, when the delegates again met at 1 p.m., under the 
Presidency of Mr. Symons. The report of the various sections 
were taken seriatim; from section A. Dr. Mill reported that 
many observations had been taken by local societies on the 
temperature variation in lakes, rivers and estuaries, and that the 
Cardiff Naturalists’ Society had distinguished itself in this respect 
by observations on the river Taff. From Section B (chemical 
section) came some remarks on the. desirability of observing the 
effect of fog on plants, and from Section C a report on the satis- 
factory progress of geological photography. It was hoped that 
in course of time a systematic photographic record of the principal 
features in the geology of the country would be collected together. 
A large number of these photographs, the result of last year’s 
work, was exhibited in Section C. Your delegate regrets that 
only one had been sent up from our Club. This was a very good 
one, taken by Mr, Powell, of the Inferior Oolite beds lately 
opened up at Midford during the progress of widening the line, 
and has been registered under the number 589. Many other 
subjects were discussed, e.g., the erosion of sea coasts, the 
disappearance of native plants, and a recommendation from 
Section D adopted, ‘‘That a Committee be appointed to take 
steps for the future legislative enactment for the preservation of 
wild birds eggs.” Some of the delegates discussed the best way 
of spreading the knowledge of natural history amongst our school 
children and instanced the “ Dickey Bird ” Society as doing good 
work in that direction. Specimens of an illustrated paper, in 
which 150 figures of birds had already been represented by a 
cheap process was shown, and the beauty and softness of the 
figures much admired.
