Abstract
A JOINT meeting of the British and Polish Sections of the International Committee for Bird Preservation was held in the hall of the Royal Geographical Society on September 25 with Mr. David Seth-Smith in the chair. Dr. Jul. Borucki, representing the Polish Section, spoke on the work for bird preservation done in the past' in Poland, directing attention to the fact that Poland and Czechoslovakia set an example to the world by the establishment of the international reserve in the High Tatras. He spoke of the work of reconstruction which would be needed after the War and the peculiar problems of bird preservation which would have to be faced. In a message, Count Wodzicki, chairman of the Polish Section (now Consul-General in New Zealand) stressed the close links which had always existed between the British and Polish Sections ; links which had been made closer by the British Section adopting the Polish Section for the duration of the War, an act which symbolized a tribute to the Polish naturalists who had not only lost property and all the results of their scientific work but also their lives.
