Abstract
THE value of the kinematograph as a means of obtaining permanent graphic records of phases of animal movement, and of the various stages of growth and change of form that go to make up the story of the life-history of insects and other inverte-brates, is, at long last, becoming more generally appreciated; while to find a British firm devoting its energies entirely to the production of such films is an encouraging sign of thegrowth of public interest in the pictured story of animal life. The British Instructional Films Ltd., the firm in question, has started the issue of a series of remarkably interesting natural-history films under the general title of “Secrets of Nature,” which we are glad to hear will be shown as part of the regular programme at kinematograph theatres in London and the provinces. This is a step in the right direction, and shouldhelp further to demonstrate the importance of the kinematograph as a means of popular instruction.
