SELBORNIANA. 
Bird and Tree Day. — The Society for the Protection of 
Birds had a most successful annual meeting on February 26, at 
which the notion of establishing a day for tree-planting and for 
promoting bird protection, in connection mainly with our ele- 
mentary schools, was enthusiastically received. The Society has 
published two charmingly illustrated and excellently reasoned 
prize essays on the subject. 
Proposed Visit to Selborne. — Dr. Bowdler Sharpe, F.R.S., 
one of our Vice-Presidents, than whom no one is better ac- 
quainted with Selborne and its associations, has kindly offered to 
conduct a party of the Society — provided not less than thirty 
promise to attend — to this Mecca of English naturalists on one 
of the Saturdays in July. The cost, including fare from London, 
carriage and meals, will be about a pound a head. 
Nature-Study Exhibition. — It has been decided that this 
exhibition, of which we spoke in our last issue, is to be held 
on Wednesday, Jul}' 23, and following days, at the Gardens of 
the Royal Botanic Society, Regent’s Park. As many of our 
principal educational bodies have promised their assistance, a 
very instructive collection will probably be got together.
