Abstract
THE annual meeting of the Association of British Zoologists was held in the rooms of the Zoological Society in Regent's Park on January 6. On previous occasions the Association has been interested in the provision of revision classes in biology at the Universities for school teachers. Dr. F. A. Dixey reported the work which the Council of the Association has done in the past year on this subject. Classes are now provided at several universities and have been well attended. In view of the expansion in the teaching of biology in schools which is now taking place, the subject is recognised as important, and the Council was asked to continue its activities. Mrs. M. D. Brindley, opened a discussion on the possibility of providing some means by which information concerning the British fauna could be made more easily and rapidly accessible. The preservation of the fauna among the rapid and widespread changes which are bound to occur in a thickly populated country is difficult, but it is a task in which zoologists must always be interested. Changes in the fauna are often of importance to the community. At present a very large amount of information on the natural history of the fauna has been collected but much of it is scattered through many, often obscure, journals.
