Proposed Visit to Selborne. — The attention of members 
is directed to the particulars, so far as at present arranged, which 
appear on the last page of this number. 
The Home Counties Nature-Study Exhibition. — The 
following letter has been sent to the Press by some of the Execu- 
tive of last year’s Exhibition : — 
“ The Association which held the very successful Nature- 
Study Exhibition last year was organised for that purpose alone, 
and has been dissolved. It suggested, however, in its Official 
Report, that the movement with which it was so prominently 
identified could, for the present, be best advanced by local 
organisations, the activity of which it had already noted with 
satisfaction. In order, therefore, that the work may be con- 
tinued in the South Eastern Counties of England, which are more 
or less in touch w r ith the metropolis, and as an outcome of the 
efforts of delegated members of the Middlesex Field Club and 
Nature-Study Society and the Selborne Society, a Home Coun- 
ties Nature-Study Exhibition is being organised in London on 
definite lines, and will be held this year, it is hoped, in the 
Gardens of the Royal Botanic Society, at a time convenient to 
teachers. 
“ Lord Avebury, F.R.S., is Chairman of the Committee, and 
the list of patrons already includes the Countess of Bective, 
Lady Frederick Cavendish, the Marquess of Ripon, the Earl of 
Aberdeen, the Earl of Stamford, the Bishop of Hereford, Lord 
Herries, the Right Hon. R. Henry Hanbury, M.P., Sir George 
Kekewich, Sir Joshua Fitch, Sir Philip Magnus, and the officers 
of the recent Nature-Study Exhibition — Sir John Cockburn, 
Mr. C. S. Roundell, and Mr. J. C. Medd. Upon the Committee 
will be found such well-known naturalists, educationalists, and 
public people as the Right Hon. James Bryce, M.P., the Right 
Hon. Jesse Collings, M.P., the Hon. Walter Rothschild, M.P.,

“ On behalf of the Executive Committee, and as members of 
the Executive of the late Nature-Study Exhibition Association, 
we venture to bring the undertaking to your notice, and to 
intimate that after carefully considering the results and reports 
of last year’s Exhibition, the Committee has drawn up a scheme 
with schedules, which may be obtained from the Hon. Secretary, 
Mr. Wilfred Mark Webb, at 20, Hanover Square, W., who will 
gratefully receive all offers of help in the form of prizes, dona-
