ing-stations are to be established at various points this fall, and we are trying 

 to enlist the aid of the Boy Scouts in this important work. The grounds of the 

 Barton Reservoir have, by act of the City Council, been proclaimed a bird- 

 sanctuary and there are various other spots around the City that we are en- 

 deavoring to have protected in a like manner. 



A series of meetings will be held during the coming winter at which prom- 

 inent Canadian birdmen will speak, with the hope that in the spring of 1920 

 sufficient public interest will be aroused to put this city on a par with any on 

 the continent in the matter of bird-protection. — N. M. Anderson, Secretary. 



Los Angeles (Cal.) Audubon Society. — The Los Angeles Audubon Society 

 has had a remarkable year in growth and work accomplished. 



We have reached the long-striven-for one hundred membership mark and 

 gone beyond it. We responded to the call of the Los Angeles Municipal Play- 

 ground Camps by sending Miss Helen Pratt, one of our members, as nature- 

 guide and bird-teacher to Seeley Flats and Radford Camp, both in the San 

 Bernardino Mountains. We have successfully inaugurated and carried through 

 a two-days' Audubon exhibit, with lectures, at the public library of our city, 

 with an attendance of 2,000 people. 



We have included the study of flowers, trees, and butterflies upon our 

 rambles, thus getting more people interested in birds through our interest in 

 their interests. Our war-work committee raised funds for the purchase of two 

 Liberty Bonds by obtaining life memberships. The Committee has also had 

 engraved a beautiful honor roll of the names of the sons, brothers, and nephews 

 of our members.
