III. — The Protection of Animals. 
Tht Use of Feathers for Ornament. — We welcome the active 
part which our President, Lord Avebury, has taken in the affairs 
of the Society, a part for which one and all accord grateful 
thanks. It was suggested to Lord Avebury that a measure was 
needed to secure protection to those birds other than of domestic 
breeds which are destroyed to supply ornaments for dress pur- 
poses. To the regret of the Selborne Society the President 
stated that any such measure would have no chance of becoming 
law at the present time. 
It is hoped that so desirable a reform may be effected in 
the near future. 
The Brent Valley Bird Sanctuary. — The Bird Sanctuary Com- 
mittee of the Brent Valley Branch has been actively pursuing 
its work. The Branch has published an illustrated pamphlet 
giving an account of the Sanctuary, and at the same time has 
made an appeal for funds. Copies of the pamphlet, price 6d. 
each, may be had from the Local Honorary Secretary, or the 
Honorary General Secretary. 
IV. — The Protection of Plants. 
Professor Boulger, the Editor of Nature Notes has 
formulated some suggestions with regard to a measure for the 
Protection of Plants, and the Council has asked Lord Avebury 
to introduce the matter to Parliament. 
V. — Places of Antiquarian Interest and Natural Beauty. 
Treasure Trove. — The pamphlet issued by the Treasure Trove 
Sub-Committee of the South-Eastern Union of Scientific 
Societies, has been reviewed in Nature Notes, and it may be 
pointed out here, that all the members of that Committee be- 
long to the Selborne Society, namely. Dr. Martin, Mr. F. W. 
Rudler, I.S.O., and the Honorary Secretary, Mr. H. Norman 
Gray.
