Mr. Nicoll drew the attention of the Club to the fact that 

 announcements of wh^at took place at the reunion of the 

 B. O. C. in May had been communicated to the daily press 

 immediately after the last meeting, and before the publication 

 of the l Bulletin/ He remarked that if this practice were 

 continued, it would be impossible to persuade naturalists to 

 allow their specimens to be exhibited. 



Several members spoke in strong terms of this breach of 

 confidence, and the Chairman hoped that after the decided 

 expression of the Meeting, the practice of sending unofficial 

 paragraphs to the press would be discontinued. 



The Hon. Walter Rothschild proposed that, during the 

 next Session of the Club, one or more evenings should be 

 set apart for the discussion of nomenclature, geographical 

 distribution, &c, in which so many members had that day 

 expressed an interest. 



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

 the 19th of October, 1904, at 8.30, at the Restaurant 

 Frascali, 32 Oxford Street ; the Dinner at 7 p.m. Members 

 intending to dine are requested to inform Mr. Ogilvie-Grant. 



[N.B. — Members who intend to make any communication 

 at the next meeting of the Club are requested to 

 give notice beforehand to the Editor, also to supply 

 him with a written account of anything intended for 

 publication.]
