IC THE REPORT OF THE No 19 



One meeting was held by invitation at the residence of Dr. MacCallum, Superintendent o 

 the London Asjluni ; after transacting some I'orinal business, the evening was spent in examin- 

 ing and discussing his large and interesting collections. 



A tioteworthy feature of the year's observations was the large number of eggs laid by the 

 earliest Hawks, 5 sets of the Red-tailed Hawk, 3 of three eggs each and 2 of four eggs, being 

 shown at the April meeting, less favourable conditions prevailed later on and the Red-shouldered 

 Hawk yielded two sets of only two eggs, the sum total not being above the average. 



The Club has been sorry to lose the presence and help of Mr. Harry Gould, one of our 

 iTjost active Avorkers, T?kho has removed to Alberta ; some interesting notes are expected of his 

 observations in this new tield. 



During the year addresses and lectures on Ornithological subjects have been delivered by 

 members to the following audiences : The Literary Society of the Baptist Church, Sarnia ; 

 The Baconian Club, London ; The Kature Study Class of the Collegiate Institute, Woodstock ; 

 The Ladies Literary Club, Woodstock ; The Moulton Ladies College, Toronto, and several 

 Societies in London. 



On the whole the Club looks back upon a successful year, full of interest, though saddened 

 by the losses mentioned above. We hope that an interesting and valuable share of work will 

 be acconiplished before the next report comes to be written.
