It is the express wish of the King that money resulting from the sale of “The Legion Book,” which was written and illustrated at the personal invitation of the Prince of Wales' by fifty of the leading poets, novelists, and arLists in England, should be regarded ns a thank-offering for his recovery. As the proceeds go to the Prince’s personal fund for the British Legion, it is associated directly with the welfare of those men who, having survived the war, now find themselves handicapped in the struggle for existence. The book itself is more than worth the guinea that is charged for it. In the Prince’s own words, it is “not a dud” but a •‘remarkable book.” He added: . “I would appeal to everyone who can afford to do so to buy a copy.” It is hoped that at least 100,000 copies of the book will be sold.

In his interesting review of botanical work in New Zealand for the lyU9 80 season, Professor A, Wall, before the Canterbury Philosophical Institute on Wednesday, dealt with native plants in the Marlborough Province, where he spent a good deal of time. He mentioned a fairly large number of plants he saw, and dealt with' their liomeneulture, and to some extent, their nabitats. He said that a scheme had been adopted in Auckland to help to educate and interest school children by sending specimens of plants around the schools, with information about them. He would like to have the same scheme in Canterbury, but would not lie able to attempt it at present. The destruction ol native plants by deer was emphasised by Professor Wall, who said that recently he had been informed by Mr R. E. Coulston, caretaker of the Gouland Down Sanctuary, a wild tract of country south of Collingwood, that deer had attacked a rare native shrub on the shores of Boulder Lake, in the Takaka district.
