ON the storm-swept and uninhabited islands off the north and west coasts of Scotland the grey seal breeds, and these island nurseries are a wonderful sight to see on the not too frequent occasions when they are accessible by boat. Mr. Seton Gordon , who is well known as a naturalist and nature photographer, with a particular interest in the wild life of Scotland, has a very special knowledge of the breeding-grounds of the seal, as he was Admiralty Patrol Officer for Argyllshire and the Inner Hebrides during the War.

THE series on ' Europe throughout the Ages,' which began last November, has traced the course of Western civilization from its dawn in ancient Greece, through its eclipse in the Dark Ages and its re-emergence in the Middle
Ages ; the change that came with the Renaissance and the Reformation, and the age of (more or less), enlightened despotism. This evening Mr. Somervell will conclude the series by describing the rise of modern democracy-first in aspiration, later in concrete form, in the Scottish Kirk and the English Levellers, in the writings of Rousseau and the achievements of constitution-makers in the United States and in revolutionary France.
