The Biology Society & A Very Rare Bird

After that they got round to the rare bird. Dr. Falla, of the Dominion Museum gave a talk on the once extinct but now notorious Notornis. Illustrated by slides and a colour film the talk dealt with historical background and the significance of the discovery. Mr. Sorenson, somewhat of an expert on birds himself, proposed the vote of thanks.

A comprehensive and interesting series of activities has been prepared for 1951. The activities arranged assist students and supplement lecture material by almost painless processes. Lectures normally have to be confined to past activity in the scientific field but the Society hopes to stress what is being done and what has to be done in the biological sciences.

Student support of the Society ensures that the topics are varied and not too far removed from the student.

Incidentally for the information of any non-science types who have read this far the biological Societies film evenings are usually worth attending. Last year's films, including fascinating shots of sea birds and whales, were wasted on students mainly from the science faculties. Those few aliens who did have the courage to roil up remained fascinated.
