SELBORNIANA. 
Lkaflkts. — The paper on “Fur-bearing Animals” by Mr. 
C. M. Mulilberg which appeared in our last issue has now been 
printed as a leaflet, and copies may be had on application to the 
Honorary Secretary. At the request of the Council, the 
Honorary Secretary is drawing up a full account of the Egrets 
which are so cruelly sacrificed for the sake of the plumes known 
as “ ospreys.” In order that this leaflet may be adequately 
illustrated and produced in an effective form, it has been decided 
to open a special Leaflet Fund, contributions towards which 
may be sent to the Honorary Secretary. 
W.ARLEY Woods Secured. — We are pleased to hear that 
the Warley Woods Committee have now sufficient funds in 
hand to enable them definitely to purchase the Woods for the 
public. We congratulate Birmingham on having secured this 
valuable open space, and we may, perhaps, be permitted once 
more to point out that the successful carrying out of this enter- 
prise is a proof of the utility of local branches of the Selborne 
Society as at least nuclei for concerted action. 
Ro.vi.AN Rem.ains xe.ar Selborne.— Traces of a Roman 
station have been discovered in a wood at West Meon, near 
Petersfield. Already several tesselated pavements, supposed 
to belong to the mansion of a Roman centurion, hav’e been 
unearthed, together with the heating apparatus of the mansion 
and several other objects of great interest. One of the pave- 
ments has, unfortunately, been broken by the roots of a tree. 
In each case the find was made a foot beneath the surface. 
The remains of several Roman villas have been found in 
the neighbourhood during the last few years, and White, in 
his “ History of Selborne,” it will be remembered, mentions 
some discoveries in the district in his time.
