Mr. Morris reported a Blue-winged Teal at Olnc}', Phila- 

 delphia, April 22. 



May 18, 1905. Thirty-two members present. 



The resignations of Messrs. J. Harris Reed and James L. 

 Stanton, Jr., were accepted with regret, and Mr. Wm. E. 

 Hannum was transferred to the corresponding list. 



Mr. Samuel C. Palmer reviewed at length the distribution of 

 the American Robin and its several races, tracing the winter 

 and breeding ranges from data compiled from the published 

 records.

Two pair of White Crowned Sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys) 

 were observed, and Black Duck and Bufflehead Ducks were seen
