To Our Readers.

This Journal is the current record of the work of the Institution, and the chief means by which it keeps its honorary workers, subscribers and the general public informed of its activities. You will therefore be helping the Institution if, when you have read this number, you will kindly pass it on to a friend; unless, of course, you are keeping a complete set of the Journals.

The next number of " The Lifeboat " will be published in September, 1931..
