NOTE BY COMMITTEE 
The Society, through the medium of the Journal, wishes to 
express its indebtedness to Mr. H. J. Allen Turner, taxidermist, 
for the many bird and small mammal specimens which he has 
mounted and presented to the Museum, and also for the valuable 
assistance he has rendered the Museum in the preparation and 
arrangement of its specimens. 
The committee also desires to express its gratitude to Mr. 
R. J. Cunninghame for the work he has done in cataloguing, 
labelling, and arranging the exhibits in the Society’s Museum.

material for the Journal is still not as ample as could be wished. 
Advice will be freely given to intending contributors if desired.

sought. 
As the Society has no clerical staff, it is hoped that when- 
ever possible, all communications will be typewritten and in 
duplicate. Articles and notes should be illustrated if possible.
