Action was taken by the Society on the nominations made 

 by the Executive Committee, and the following officers were 

 elected for the ensuing term :— President, Mr. F. M. Weston; 

 Vice-President, Mrs. P. M. Ray ; Secretary and Treasurer, 

 Mr. J. H. Taylor. 



The Society decided to continue its bird work during the 

 summer. Members who are in the city will hold regular 

 monthly meetings, at which the record cards will be ex- 

 changed, and changes m.ade in the exhibit of birds of the 

 current season. Members who are in other parts of the 

 State are requested to keep their records hi manuscript and 

 file them with the Secretary. It was suggested that pre- 

 liminary observations be made on the life-histories of inju- 

 rious insects with a view to determining the advisability of 

 forming a separate section of the Society for this work. 



In conclusion. Prof. Rea spoke very encouragingly of the 

 work and prospects of the Society at the close of its first 

 year.
