and they are most kind in sending regular supplies to their 
particular schools. They feel repaid for the trouble they have 
taken by the children’s progress in the knowledge and love of 
Nature. There are still more workers wanted ; at least a dozen 
schools are patiently waiting till some kind friend will undertake 
to forward them (in boxes) “ bits of Nature ” suitable for pack- 
ing, which otherwise many of the children never have a chance 
of seeing. 
This work is most suitable for boys and girls, for they would 
not only be giving pleasure to children in most unfavourable 
surroundings, but it would also be of profit to themselves. 
The Secretary, Miss Jessie Bird, Riversdale Road, Aigburth, 
Liverpool, will be glad to give any further particulars, and also 
to receive the names of any willing to become members. 
Err.^ta. — Our attention has been called to the fact that our 
Natural History Note No. 489, on Plant Freaks, refers to the 
same case as that described in Mr. Silverlock’s article in our 
February issue. On p. 100, 1 . 4, “ \V. Bickerton-Norman Gray ” 
should read “ VV. Bickerton, H. Norman Gray.” 
Thanks. — Mr. \V. H. Wells, of the Stoneleigh School, 
Kenilworth, desires to thank the anonymous donor of three 
years’ back numbers of Nature Notes for use in his school.

Our Homeland Churches and how to Study Them. By Sidney Heath. Pp. 126.

It is certainly an e.xcellent notion on the part of the Homeland Association to 
supplement the many first-rate local guide-books which they have published by a 
general handbook to English church architecture at a price within the reach of 
every student. The work is specially designed for the non-professional amateur, 
being simply worded, well illustrated, and furnished with a glossary of technical 
terms and a short bibliography. That the illustrations are at once practical and 
artistic may be seen from the examples which, by the courtesy of the Association, 
we are able to reproduce here. The author has carried out the difficult task of 
selecting and condensing his materials judiciously, though it naturally occurs to 
another student that other examples might well have been cited. We note, for
