 Museum, Pretoria, on Saturday the 5tli November, 1904, at 

 4 P.M. There was a small attendance ; Mr. J. A. Bucknill 

 was elected to the Chair. The Hon. Secretary stated that 

 the object of the Meeting was to reconsider ihe name chosen 

 for the Journal at the last Meeting of the Union, owing to 

 the large number of Members who had taken exception to 

 the title. After considerable discussion it was proposed by 

 Mr. Spicer, and seconded by Mr. Skea, that the name of 

 the Journal should be simply " The Journal of the 

 South African Ornithologists' Union.-'-' This motion 

 was unanimously carried. 



It was also recommended that the publication of the first 

 number should be proceeded with as soon as possible.
