Severn Wildfowl Another publication that deserves public support is the
very handsome record of its work published and well illustrated for the Severn Wildfowl Trust, 8 Edwards Square, W.8, at 5s. The Trust is assisting directly with its sanctuary in preserving geese and duck, and is giving facilities for study of the birds and their habits. Many people will, I should guess, enjoy the account of the decoy, especially of the intelligence of terriers which encourage their own mobbing in order to lure the duck into the tapered channels or pipes of the decoy, whence they are taken and ringed. You really can teach a dog almost anything. On the subject of the ways of a dog, I may be allowed to take this opportunity of recording that the smell of flowers is much enjoyed by the Welsh corgi as well as the King Charles spaniel and by some cats.
