20 CHELTENHAM COLLEGE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
thought of by this competitor, some of the pictures are printed on 
pink paper and some are toned with su/phur and not gold: pink 
high lights and black shadows hardly make a good combination. 
J. E. R. Reeves 1s evidently a younger hand and a more careless 
one than the others. The horse is without hoofs and is standing 
against a door that is not upright. The animal has only 3 legs. The 
church is desperately over exposed, the hotel is too large for the sized 
plate and is lighted equally on front and sides. The Black Horse 
Hotel is not in focus and under exposed: I more particularly notice 
this competitor’s pictures, not with a view to dishearten but to encour- 
age and as he is not above showing his failures I feel sure he will be 
glad to he told how he has failed and will persevere. 
JUNIOR SCHOOL. 
President, =i 3 ie], Cape, Eso: 
NURING the past year a branch of the Natural History 
#] Society has been established in the Junior Department 
and has been well supported. The work that has been 
valuable chiefly as a training for the future, so that there 
has not been much that is worth recording. Three 
sections Were formed, for Ornithology, Botany and 
Entomology. In the Ornithological section Glenny did 
good work, and the finding of a kestrel’s nest apparently built by 
the birds themselves is worth mention. ‘The increase in numbers of 
_ the redstart is also observable. 
. By the Botanical section the finding of Herminium monorshio 
and Campanula hybrida should be recorded. 
} _—_ Inthe Entomological section some good work has been by several 
boys. The collection made by Hibberd though containing nothing 
rare, deserves special mention for the excellent manner in which all 
the specimens were set.
