COUPLE of meetings held during the Lent term in — 
common with the Ornithological Section were © 
well. attended. They were devoted to the 
examination of a few common flowers which 
were out at the time, and the explanation of the 
simpler Botanical facts. 
We were also indebted to Miss Laurie for 
an interesting and instructive lecture on some of 
—————|}_ the Natural Orders. _It was profusely illustrated 
by specimens and by tables of the leading characteristics of the 
common orders. During the term Sparrow and Hill have been 
collecting for the Botany prize. Next year we hope to see some more 
of the fellows who did good work on the Botanical excursion enter 
for the prize.
