we are certainly adding an appearance of truth to such 

 remarks. 



" All I would ask you to-night is to show by a motion 

 your strong disapproval of the mere collectors' and ex- 

 terminators' instinct which leads to exhibitions like the 

 present ; and I would therefore beg leave to move the 

 following resolution : — 



" ' That this Meeting strongly disapproves of the 

 collecting and exhibiting of large series of clutches 

 of eggs of British breeding birds^ or of British-taken 

 eggs of our rare breeding species^ except for the purpose 

 of demonstrating some new scientific fact.' " 



Mr. Meade-Waldo said that he would be most happy 

 to second the motion^ which, after a somewhat animated 

 discussion in which a number of Members took part, was 

 carried almost unanimously. 



The next Meeting of the Club will be held on Wednesday, 

 the 16th of November, 1910, at PAGANI'S EESTAURANT,

 Members of the Club intending to dine are requested to
