Lectukes. 

 The demand for lectures before schools and granges far ex- 

 ceeds the supply. The demand has been met as far as time 

 allowed, but the work that one man can do as State Ornitholo- 

 gist with the limited time at his command for this purpose is 

 hardly a drop in the bucket compared with what should be 

 done in the schools of the Commonwealth alone. In addition to 

 lectures given by the State Ornithologist, the following speakers 

 have given similar service during the year, but all are engaged 

 in other activities and can give comparatively little time to this 

 work: —
