NATURE NOTES 
It is hoped that in the near future members may have greater 
facilities for borrowing books, and that they may be able to 
read the serial publications which are received by the Society. 
Mr. Hubert H. Poole has, in addition to the heavy work in

Librarian again, so that the Society is doubly indebted to him 
for his services.
