The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has issued

its thirty-fifth Annual Report. Not only the English country- side but the surface of our adjacent seas is changing with the oil of Diesel engines and exhaust gases of motor-cars. Many factors are contributing to a change in the habits of our binds, and the Council of the Society is wide awake to their probable effects. Our readers will be interested in this latest report of a very worthy work.
