226 [Proc. B.N.F.C., 



The next paper was a continuation of a paper given last 

 Session by Lieutenant-Colonel Partridge on " The Lepidoptera 

 of Enniskillen "; and the third was a very interesting and 

 valuable paper by J. R. P. Masefield on " Wild Bird Protection 

 and Nesting Boxes," giving full details as to the construction 

 and arrangement of artificial birds' nests in our gardens to 

 encourage rare birds to build in the immediate vicinity of our 

 homes. 



The best thanks of the Club were given to these gentlemen 

 for their valuable contributions. 



Joseph Wright, F.G.S., in speaking favourably of the papers, 

 referred to his recent visit as the delegate of the Club to Dublin, 

 Cork, and Limerick, under the auspices of the Irish Field 

 Club Union, whereby a closer bond of union between Irish 

 naturalists was being brought about.
