GENERAL NOTES 



Elizabeth V. Brown 



Miss Elizabeth V. Brown, of Wash- 

 ington, D. C, died at the home of her 

 mother in that city on July 22, 191 5. For 

 many years she had been a prominent 

 clubwoman, author, and educator. She 

 was an active worker in the District of 

 Columbia Audubon Society, and her 

 attractive personality united with her 

 unusual ability to impart knowledge and 

 inspiration, made her one of the most 

 valued Audubon workers in the country. 

 Her loss is keenly felt among her host of 

 friends in Washington and elsewhere. 



Effect of the Hurricane 



A severe hurricane swept northward 

 across the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of 

 Mexico in August, doing much damage to 

 shipping and towns along our Gulf Coast. 

 That many tropical sea-birds were driven 

 before it, is indicated by the report 

 recently received from Warden Sprinkle, 

 of Pass Christian, Mississippi, that a 

 Noddy Tern came into his possession 



there. E. A. Mcllhenny at the same time 

 reported from Avery Island, Louisiana, 

 the appearance there of a Blue-faced 

 Booby and a Tropic Bird. 



Two Connecticut Clubs 



The neatly printed reports of the Hart- 

 ford Bird Study Club and the Meriden 

 Bird Club, both in Connecticut, are 

 encouraging, as well as interesting read- 

 ing. The former club, organized in 1909, 

 now numbers nearly 500 members, 

 including many persons living in suburban 

 communities, so that its influence is 

 widely spread. It has learned how to con- 

 duct itself so well that weekly meetings 

 are maintained from September to June, 

 many of them field-meetings during the 

 months when weather permits. The pro- 

 gram printed in the present report is well 

 worth study and imitation by new clubs 

 elsewhere that are striving to enlarge 

 their popularity and usefulness. 



The Meriden Club has its home only a 

 few miles from Hartford, and is somewhat 

 smaller numerically, but appears to be
