Natural History Club.--The Committee hope that P.N.E.U. Members and their children will make collections for the November Exhibition.
It is considered that the futherance of a reverent love of Nature is not enhanced by collections which involve the taking of life. Stuffed animals and birds, butterflies, birds' eggs, etc., will not be shown this year. Any other Natural History objects, Nature Note-books, drawings of flowers, insects, animals, birds' feathers, dried flowers, fossils, etc., will by gladly welcomed. Also such exhibits as clay or wax maps, which help towards the knowledge of actual surroundings, are of great interest. The report of last year's Exhibition is now out of print, but intending exhibitors can see a copy on application to Miss Blogg, 28, Victoria Street, S.W.
