We feel bound to congratulate the members of our Society 
on its present flourishing condition. During the past few months 
it has developed a greatly increased amount of energy on the part 
of its officers, and the result has been most satisfactory, both with 
regard to the growth of the Society in numbers, and the dis- 
semination of its principles far and wide. It has on its side a 
sympathetic press (most of the leading newspapers giving a 
hearty support to its platform), and a daily increasing body of 
public opinion. Although it has lately passed through a period 
of anxiety which called forth the utmost efforts of all its well- 
wishers, it is now stronger than ever, and constitutes a powerful 
body which may have a very real effect in checking the ravages 
of destroyers, and in educating the public to sound views on the 
subject of nature-preservation. 
ACCESS TO MOUNTAINS BILL. 
j N the first article of the March number of Nature Notes, 
Mr. George Murray, dealing with the Glen Doll Right 
of Way, wrote as follows : — “ Nothing could be more 
popular than the reception given to Mr. Bryce’s 
Access to Mountains Bill of a few years ago. What has 
become of it ? If there is any young politician desirous of the 
popular canonization so properly bestowed on Sir John Lubbock 
for a measure of benefit to the people which all feel and recog- 
nize, let him take up the Access to Mountains Bill.”
