with stereopticon views on birds,
which was attended by an appreciative
audience. Mr.. Chapman Is at present

the most scholarly and valuable of
hand-books on birds. He has also writ

The widespread interest in bird study
throughout the college, among students
and faculty, is most natural enough
when one considers the unusualsoppof-
tunities offered by the college surToun-
dings.
A series of lectures on birds Is given
every spring in connection with one of
the zoology courses, by Miss Hubbard
Of the zoology department. These leo
lures have already begun, and as they
are open to the college, they are al
ways very we'll attended. The college
collection of stuffed birds is unusually
large and helpful to students who DO
much feldworlS.
A little later in the season, early
morning parties will be seen, starting
dark colors and short skirts, and car
rying opera glasses. AS no guns are
allowed on the 800 acres Of collage
grounds, very large nuElDor of birds
are to be seen. Then, the woodlands
and many fine estates neighboring nre
full of sweet songsters.
Mr.. Morse, curator Of the geological
department, has published book on
the birds Of Wellesley and vicinity, and
Miss NJ. A. Wilcox, professor Of ZOO
logy, has written an invaluable little
Pocket guide to the common Land
birds of New England published Ivy
Lee & Shepard. The book has an as-
pecially good key for Identification.
