Dr. A. F. R. Wollaston exhibited a series of fine lantern- 

 slides from photographs taken during the Mt. Everest 

 Expedition of 1921. He gave a most interesting description 

 of the various types of country passed through from 9000 ft. 

 in the Chumbi Valley to 22,400 ft. on Mt. Everest, men- 

 tioning some of the birds found in each region. Reference 

 was made to the fascinating Alpine flora which was con- 

 stantly conspicuous in the admirable slides exhibited. 



A fuller account of the birds will be published in Mr. 

 Kinnear's paper in ' The Ibis ' for July. 



Sir Thomas Lewis exhibited a series of beautiful slides of 

 various sea-birds taken on a small island off the British 

 Coast. The series included photographs of the Great Black- 

 backed Gull, Puthns, Razor-Bills, Storm-Petrel, Common 

 Terns, and Cormorants, all illustrating in an admirable 

 manner various characteristic habits and methods of flioht.
