demolished. The National Trust should appoint an expert Com- 

 mittee to deal with the matter, and at least one member should be 

 familiar, from actual field work, with the life-histories of the principal 

 Fen Lepidoptera, such as Pajnlio machaon, Meliana flammea, Nonagria 

 arundineta, N. aruncUnis, Gidaria sagittata, &g. It is probable that 

 a uniform treatment of the Fen is undesirable, and that while some 

 portions are never cut (with the exception of thinning out sallow 

 bushes, &c.), others should be cut periodically. — A. Robinson ;
