Orton Hall, Monday, Feb. 3, 1908. 



The Biological Club on the above named date, met in Orton 

 Hall as usual, and the minutes of the previous meeting were read 

 and approved. The name of Miss Emil}- Hollister was proposed 

 for membership. 



Prof. Landacre gave an excellent report of the neurological 

 papers presented at the Chicago Meeting of the A. A. A. S. 



The paper of the evening was presented by Dr. Hubbard on 

 "Drainage Modifications near Lakeville, Ohio." A series of 

 stream modifications has taken place here which seems to be 

 most plausibly explained by attributing it to glacial action. 



In reports of personal observations, McCray mentioned 

 observing last fall an unusual number of honey bees working on 

 red clover. Prof. Hine reported the securing for the department 

 of Zoolog}' a Black-Backed Gull, perhaps about the second 

 authentic record of this bird for Ohio. R. J. Sim reported that 

 a specimen of Brunnich's Murre was taken in Ashtabula County, 

 Ohio, during the holiday vacation. This is the second recorded 

 occurrence of this bird for the State. 



The Club adjourned to meet in four weeks. 



Arthur H. McCray, Secretary.

 student for the purpose of instructing him and without fear that 

 he may be hopelessly confused. Yet while it possesses this
