Popularising of Natural History Studies.—Prof. Merivale 
said that it might interest the delegates to learn what was being done 
in Newcastle to popularise natural history, especially among young 
people. They had a ‘ Dicky Bird Society,’ numbering some 220,000 
members, and articles were published from time to time in the 
‘Newcastle Weekly Chronicle.’ One hundred and twenty species of 
birds had already been described and illustrated, and the whole 
series, when complete, would be republished in a separate form. 
Mr. Sowerbutts also alluded to the useful dissemination of 
geographical knowledge through the same publication (‘ Newcastle 
Weekly Chronicle’), and spoke in high terms of the illustrations, 
which, especially in the case of the birds, had been executed wit 
remarkable success by some photo-mechanical process. 
tanical Demonstrations for Teachers.—Prof. Leipner 
called attention to this subject. He had invited all teachers in 
public, private, and Board Schools to attend two demonstrations at 
University College, Bristol. His plan was to select three or four 
familiar wild flowers and demonstrate their structure by means of 
diagrams on the blackboard. ‘The experiment had been tried one 
year, and had been so successful that he had been asked to repeat 
it a second year.

Description of Museum Specimens.—Dr. Garson said that 
it was very necessary for all workers in anthropology to know where 
Specimens were preserved, especially in the case of local museums. 
It was sometimes impossible to visit these museums’ personally, and 
the best thing under the circumstances was to have a good descrip- 
tion of the different specimens. This was a subject which the 
members of local societies might very well take up. Not only 
should the implements and other finds be described, but the 
conditions under which they were found should be carefully and 
completely recorded. 
Registration of Prehistoric Remains.— Dr. Garson 
announced that this Committee, of which Mr. J. W. Davis was the 
Secretary, had been reappointed. He urged upon the delegates the 
importance of assisting in this work, and asked those who desired 
eo as to the method of recording, te communicate with 
Mr. Davis 
Aid in Anthropological Exploration.—Dr. Garson made 
some further remarks on this subject in continuation of the observa- 
tions which he had made at the last Conference. He said that there 
was a general notion that in the case of human remains, the skull was 
the only part of the skeleton worth preserving. ‘This was a great 
1892.
