NOTICE. 
The Meeting in January will be held on the 17th. On this 
occasion it is proposed to hold an exhibition of lantern-slides, 
portraying various episodes in Bird-life, especially ])hoto- 
graphs of nests and eggs taken by Members of the Club. The 
Editor therefore earnestly requests that all Members who 
have photographs of nests in situ, or other objects of ornitho- 
logical interest for exhibition, will show them by means of 
the lantern on the 17th of January. The Editor will be glad 
to receive, as early as possible in Januarjq a list of the slides 
proposed to be shown by any Member on this occasion. —

The Secretary and Treasurer wishes to call the attention 
of the Members to the necessity of returning the cards 
signifying their intention to dine at the Frascati Restaurant, 
at least three days before any meeting of the Club takes 
place. At the last meeting eleven Members only gave notice 
to the Secretary of their wish to come to the dinnei’, wdiilc 
more Members turned up at the last moment, for whom 
provision had to be made. Attention to the rule that 
Members who intend to dine should notify the Secretary 
of the fact, will much oblige him and save a great deal of 
trouble. — W. E. de W.
