A photograph of a chameleon darting out its long tongue was shown by Mr Richard Kcarton, .whose admirable nature photography is well known, in a lecture to young people organised by the Royal Colonial Institute. Owing to its lightning flash, said Mr Ivearton, he was not able to get a picture of the tongue until, after wasting scores of plates, he timed the number of seconds between each tongue dart, and then worked tho shutter at the proper moment. Mr Kcarton said that the vulture does not scent tho carrion from afar as natural history loeend maintains. Ho had wrapped meat in paper bajrs and held them under the very beaks of caged vultures, and they had languidly' ignored the offerings until the paper was removed.
