NEWS FROM THE BRANCHES. 
Bath. — On Thursday, November lO, Mr. Fred. Enock gave a delightful 
lecture on the “ Wonders and Romance of Insect Life.” The lecture was copiously 
illustrated with a unique series of lantern slides. Dr. Norman presided over 
a large and appreciative audience ; and, in thanking the Lecturer at the close, 
he expressed a hope that Mr. Enock would give them another lecture next year. 
Birmingham and Midland. — On Wednesday, November 16, Mr. Ernest 
Thompson Seton delivered a most attractive lecture on “ Wild Animals I have 
Known ” to a large audience in the Birmingham Town Hall. Many hundreds of 
children from certain of the primary schools of the city were invited, and the 
Members and their friends who had purchased tickets filled every available seat 
in the side galleries. Mr. Seton is a clever story-teller, and the children were 
particularly delighted with his amusing accounts of bear life, illustrated by lantern 
views. He is also a very keen observer, and gave some interesting details of the 
way in which he had made out the track of a fox by impressions left in the snow. 
Mr. Seton has also given a great deal of study to the various cries of wild 
animals, many of which he imitated, to the great delight of the younger portion 
of his audience. He concluded his lecture by relating his capture of “ Lobo,” the 
“ King Wolf of the Currumpew,” which is so graphically described in the lecturer’s 
well-known book, “Wild Animals I have Known.” Sir Hallewell Rogers, 
President of the Branch, accorded the lecturer a hearty vote of thanks, which was 
carried by acclamation. 
Hampstead. — On Monday, December 12, a lecture will be given at 8. 15 p.m., 
at the Subscription Library, Prince Arthur Road, Hampstead, by Mrs. L. Douglas 
Wilson, on “ Pompeii.” The Chair will be taken by Mr. H. Plowman, F.S..A. 
North Middlesex Junior. — At a general meeting of this Branch at 
Brunswick Hall, New Southgate, following up a suggestion that it was of 
advantage that the Warrant-holder, Mr. C. M. Hall, should be responsible for 
the secretarial duties, a resolution to that effect was carried. Mr. Hall, in 
acquiescing, said that for some time he had seen the propriety of the step the 
members were taking, that course being conducive to the proper organisation 
of the Branch. Mr. J. W. Grint was appointed Honorary Treasurer.
