submitted a synopsis of the bird work of the Society for the 

 year 1906. This synopsis is printed in the present issue of 

 the Bulletin and should prove a valuable guide for field 

 work. 



The Museum will be represented by the Director at the 

 second annual meeting of the American Association of Mu- 

 seums, to be held at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburg, 

 June 4, 5, and 6. Professor Rea will read a paper on Museum 

 Records. 



With this issue the Bulletin takes leave of its readers 

 till October. Professor Rea will visit many northern mu- 

 seums during the summer and will plan the equipment of our 

 new building. During July and August he will be on the 

 instruction staff of the Marine Biological Laboratory at 

 Woods Hole, Mass. Mr. Wamsley will supervise the con- 

 version of the Auditorium into a museum building and Mr. 

 Sass will bring the library and specimen records up to date 

 in preparation for moving in the fall. Professor Martin, who 

 has spent three months in the tedious but extremely impor- 

 tant work of completing the records of the geological depart- 

 ment, has returned to his home in Brooklyn, N. Y. Before 

 coming down next year he hopes to obtain material for a 

 contemplated exhibit of the mineralogy of the Southern 

 Appalachians. 



Note: — Mr. Arthur T. Wayne has kindly called our atten- 

 tion to an error on page 36 of the April Bulletin. The 

 name of the recent owner of the Walter plantation should 

 read Mr. William Mazyck Porcher, instead of Mr. Ezekiel 

 Porcher, as printed. —Ed.
