Abstract
AT the annual meeting of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, held at the Middlesex Guildhall, on March n, when the Ranee of Sarawak presided, an optimistic tone prevailed in the first portion of the report for 1914, as several of the schemes and objects, for which the Society had long been labouring were apparently on the point of realisation. Then came the war, when all these fair prospects—particularly the expected passing of the Government Plumage Bill—were dissipated, to be renewed, it may be hoped, at the conclusion of the war. In other respects the work of the Society was, on the whole, satisfactory; but finance is a matter on which there is serious ground for. anxiety, as a falling-off in subscriptions during the current year is almost inevitable.
