Addenda. 



At a meeting of the Corresponding Societies Committee held on 

 November 9, 1903, the following Resolution which the Rev. E. P. Knubley 

 was desirous of moving at the Southport Conference, but was unable to 

 move through inability to be present at the second meeting, received 

 consideration : — 



' That the members of the Corresponding Societies be requested to 

 give as much help as they can to teachers in those Elementary and 

 Secondary Schools which are taking up the subject of Nature Study.' 



This Resolution was carried, and it was resolved to recommend it to 

 the favourable consideration of the various Corresponding Societies, leaving 

 the exact form in which assistance could be rendered for future dis- 

 cussion. 



At the same meeting Mr. W. Coles's paper was discussed, and the 

 following Resolution was carried : — 



' That the Corresponding Societies be recommended to enter upon the 

 6-inch Ordnance maps any unrecorded natural features and archa'o 

 los;ical remains.'
