will take the form of a special visit to the “Zoo” on Saturday afternoon, 
October 27, about 3 p.m. The whole of the arrangements are not yet com- 
pleted, but a post-card sent to the Autumn Meeting Hon. Secretary, Mr. Id. 
Norman Gray, “ Belvedere,” Woodville Road, New Barnet, Herts, will bring 
along the full particulars in due course. Selbornians are cordially invited to 
attend.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
J. B. — Sowerby’s “ English Botany,” ed. 3, 13 vols., is published by Messrs. 
George Bell and Sons. Though not completed to date, swollen by much 
padding of little value, and far inferior in colouring to the scarce first edition, 
it is the only work of the kind. Its plates are more numerous and better than 
those of any other recent British flora, and its text, though to some extent super- 
seded by later editions of Babington’s “ Manual,” is of great ciitical value. 
1. All communications for Nature Notes must be authenticated with name 
and address, not necessarily for publication. 
2. The return of an unaccepted contribution can only be guaranteed when it 
is accompanied by a stamped and addressed envelope. We cannot undertake to

10th of the preceding month.
