No claims have been received for the medals offered to

members who should succeed in breeding some species not

previously bred in this country ; but, as it is believed that several

members have come very near to winning one of these medals,

the offer is renewed for next 3 T ear upon the same conditions as

before.


We have to lament the death of several members during

the past year, that of Mr. Erskine Alton being an especially

severe loss to the Society.


Arrangements have been made for Messrs. Betts & Sons,

Limited, of 2, Gray’s Inn Place, Gray’s Inn, W.C., to undertake

the publication and distribution of the Magazine, which will in

future be posted to the members by that firm, and to them all

orders for extra copies should be addressed.


The thanks of the members are due to all, whether officers

or not, who in various ways have helped in the work of the

Society, and especially to the members of the Executive Com¬

mittee, whose load of work and responsibility is always a heavy

one.
