NATURE NOTES. 
SELBORNE SOCIETY NOTICES. 
Leaflet. — The Prospectus of the Selborne Society has been brought up to 
date, and reprinted Copies may be obtained from the Secretary at the rate of 2s. 
per loo, post free. 
Leaflet Fund. — The Committee having charge of this Fund regret that, 
up to the present, they have had no response to their appeal for means to carry 
on this important branch of the Society’s work. There are several useful leaflets 
which require printing and circulating, but it is impossible to do this without 
pecuniary aid. 
Winter Lectures. — -The Council are anxious to obtain the names of any 
ladies or gentlemen willing to lecture or give addresses (in and around London, 
on Natural History or other subjects), on behalf of the Selborne Society, during 
the forthcoming Session from October to March. Further information may be 
obtained of the Secretary. 
Selborne Water Scheme. — The Hon. Secretary of the Croydon Branch, 
Mr. Edward A. Martin, who has recently paid a visit to Selborne, was requested 
to report on the success of the Water Scheme recently inaugurated. He says : 
“The operation of bringing the water from the Well-head to the village has 
proved a brilliant success, and that, too, without marring the natural beauty of 
the neighbourhood. There is a constant supply from the reservoir, which is 
refilled about every third da)' by hydraulic power from the spring. The water is 
excellent for drinking purposes, and being obtainable by means of numerous 
hydrants in all parts of the village, is a great boon, especially to the old and feeble 
inhabitants, who are very grateful to the promoters.” 
Alteration in Date of Meetings. — In future the Council will meet on 
the first Tuesday in each month, instead of the first Wednesday, commencing 
October. The 5 lagazine and Leaflet Committee (who edit this page) meet the 
third Wednesday in each month. The next meetings of the Council will be 
held on September 5 and October 2 ; and those of the Committee on September 
19 and October 17.
