Charleston and Vicinity, illustrated by both living and 

 mounted specimens. 



In ad'dition to the regular meetings on the first Thursday 

 in each month the executive committee has decided to hold 

 mid*-monthly meetings, on the second Wednesday after each 

 regular monthly meeting, for discussion of the more technical 

 work of the society. All who are desirous of developing a 

 field knowledg"e of birds will find the mid-monthly meetings 

 especially helpful. 



The next regular meeting will be held in Manigault Hall, 

 Thursday, March 7, at 4:30 P. M. and will be devoted to a 

 popular discussion, by Mr. H. R. Sass, of the peculiar habit 

 of migration among birds, illustrated by common local 

 sipecies. All interested are invited to be present. 



Copies of the Bird' Guide, by C. A. Reed, are en sale at the 

 Museum at fifty cents each. This little book has been adopted 

 by the society as a handbook for field use and is of a conven- 

 ient size to carry in the pocket. 



NOTES FROM THE MUSEUM 



The zoology class from the Memminger Normal School 

 recently visited the Museum with its teacher and' the lecture 

 room was placed at their disposal for a demonstration of Coel- 

 enterates. The Museum is gratified to be of service to teachers 

 and the new building will afford facilities for more extensive 

 co-operation. 



Professor Martin's many friends in Charleston will be glad 

 to hear that he has come to spend three months at the Museum. 

 His exceHent work for his department while away is described 

 on another page.
