LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

WOLMER FOREST.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOT."]

SIR,—In reply to the wish expressed by your correspondent,. Mr. Darwin, in the Spectator of November 20th, that the proposed reservation of Wolmer should include animals, will you permit me to state that the text of the Guildford petition specifies "wild birds and other creatures," under which latter term the quadrupeds usually found in woodlands may be con- sidered as included P The petition has been presented, and a reply received that it is now under consideration.—I am, Sir, THOMAS WHITBDRIfy President of the Natural History and Microscopical Society, Guildford.
