Abstract
FOR the benefit of visitors to the Natural History Museum on Sunday afternoons who may wish for fuller information about the various branches of natural history than may be obtained by casual wandering through the galleries, the Trustees of the British Museum have arranged for two lectures each afternoon at 3 and 4.30, to be given usually by a member of the scientific staff. Lectures illustrated by lantern slides will be given in the Board Room, and the remainder in one of the galleries. The opening lecture will be on Sunday, February 4, the lecturer being Capt. Guy Dollman, who will speak on the great game animals of Africa and will show a number of lantern slides. On succeeding Sundays lectures will be given by Dr. W. E. Swinton on earthquakes, Mr. Maurice Burton on seashore animals (both in the Board Room), and Mr. J. R. Norman on the Fish Gallery. Admission to the lectures is free.
