NATURE NOTES. 
THE MYLES MEMORIAL FUND. 
A resolution was passed at the last meeting of the Sel- 
borne Society that an appeal should be made to members of 
the Society and subscribers to Nature Notes, under the belief 
that they would be willing to contribute to the above Fund on 
behalf of Mrs. Myles, in consideration of the services which her 
late husband rendered to the Society, especially as a most 
painstaking and efficient editor of the Journal. 
Though a small sum was allowed by the Society to meet the 
current expenses in conducting the Journal, it was often ex- 
ceeded, although such extra expenses were never mentioned. 
Unfortunately, his professional duties left no margin, so it is 
hoped that a substantial sum may be secured for his widow, 
and any contributions will be gladly received and at once 
acknowledged by the secretaries of the several branches of the 
Selborne Society, and by the Rev. Prof. G. Henslow, Drayton 
House, Ealing, London, W. 
It may be also added here that Mrs. Myles would be glad 
to undertake the duties of a secretaryship, if any such post 
can be found for her : she has had a long experience in such 
work, having been for upwards of ten years Lion. Secretary and 
Treasurer to the London Diocesan Associates of the Girls’ 
Friendly Society. 
SPECIAL NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.
