NOTICE. 



The Meeting in January will be held on the 17th. On this 

 occasion it is proposed to hold an exhibition of lantern-slides, 

 portraying various episodes in Bird-life, especially photo- 

 graphs of nests and eggs taken by Members of the Club. The 

 Editor therefore earnestly requests that all Members who 

 have photographs of nests in situ, or other objects of ornitho- 

 logical interest for exhibition, will show them by means of 

 the lantern on the 17th of January. The Editor will be glad 

 to receive, as early as possible in January, a list of the slides 

 proposed to be shown by any Member on this occasion. —

The Secretary and. Treasurer wishes to call the attention 

 of the Members to the necessity of returning the cards 

 signifying their intention to dine at the Frascati Restaurant, 

 at least three days before any meeting of the Club takes 

 place. At the last meeting eleven Members only gave notice 

 to the Secretary of their wish to come to the dinner, while 

 more Members turned up at the last moment, for whom 

 provision had to be made. Attention to the rule that 

 Members who intend to dine should notify the Secretary 

 of the fact, will much oblige him and save a great deal of 

 trouble.— W. E. de W.
