SELBORNIANA. 
Library Fund. — Mr. and Mrs. George Musgrave have 
kindly subscribed the sum of one guinea to start a fund for the 
purchase of a copy of the first edition of “ The Natural History 
of Selborne,” and other books for the Library. Further con- 
tributions may be sent to the Honorary Librarian or Honorary 
Secretary, at 20, Hanover Square, London, W. 
Malvern Field Club. — The winter session of this Club 
was commenced on November 15, by a lecture on Coleoptera, 
given by the Rev. H. S. Gorham, F.Z.S., at the Public Library, 
in the Museum of the Club, this being the first meeting there. 
Specimens and diagrams were shown, and a clear outline of his 
subject given by the lecturer. 
At 3.15 on December 13, the Severn Drifts were described 
by Mr. W. Wickham. At 3.30 on January 10, Insect Life will 
be the topic selected by Mr. Edwards (Victoria Institute, Wor- 
cester). On February 7, at 8 p.m., Saurians will be discussed 
and lantern illustrations shown, by Mr. H. Metcalfe. On March 
14, at 3.15 p.m.. Plant Fertilisation will be dealt with by Dr. 
Stanley Haynes, the President of the Club, and on April ii 
Mr. Carlton Rea will give an address. 
All these meetings will be held at the Public Library, Mal- 
vern, where members of the Selborne Society will be welcomed 
on presentation of their visiting cards to the President or 
Secretary. 
Educational Congress. — A scheme is on foot for holding 
a general Educational Congress in London each year. It has 
been formulated by representatives of fourteen of the chief asso- 
ciations of teachers in England and Wales, and at present it 
is suggested that it should take place in January, beginning in 
1908, and extending over a week. The Meetings would be 
general, for the discussion of topics of interest to all educa- 
tionalists, and sectional, dealing with specific subjects, while the 
various societies interested could hold their annual meetings 
during the same period, and at the same place. We hope that 
Nature Study and the Teaching of Natural History will receive 
their fair share of attention. Mr. Herbert B. Garrod, General 
Secretary of the Teachers’ Guild, is acting as Secretary to the 
Committee. 
The Muzzling oe Dogs. — On January i a new order of the 
Board of Agriculture and Fisheries comes into force, empower- 
ing local authorities to make regulations with regard to the 
wearing of collars (with the name and address of the owner 
inscribed upon them) by dogs in highways, and places of public 
resort. At the same time Article 10 of the Rabies Order of 1897 
is revoked, together with previous regulations as to the muzzling 
of dogs.
