THE BRENT VALLEY BIRD SANCTUARY.

[To THE EDITOR OD THE "SPECTATOR."]

Sra,—The members of the Brent Valley Bird Sanctuary Com- mittee have continually received the kind assistance of the Press in their work, and the notices given to the last leaflet issued by the Selborne Society on the methods adopted of attracting wild birds will be fresh in the minds of your readers. I have therefore no hesitation in making an appeal, now that the nesting season will soon be in full swing, for renewals of and additions to the contributions that have enabled us to maintain the Sanctuary in the past. We shall be pleased to enter the name of any subscriber of eighteenpence against a nesting-box in our numbered list, and report as to the result obtained, while in the case of those who contribute five shillings and upwards we shall be glad to make, arrangements for a visit to the Sanctuary.—I am, Sir, &c.,

HILDA E. WEBB,

Honorary Secretary of the Brent Valley Bird Sanctuary Committee.
