The death of Dr. Samuel W. Woodhouse, Honorary member 

 of the club, on October 23, 1904, was announced, and the fol- 

 lowing resolution was adopted: 



The Delaware Valley Ornithological Club has heard with 

 deep regret of the death of Dr. Samuel W. Woodhouse. The 

 last of a generation of ornithologists, whose period of activity 

 closed long before the birth of our Club, Dr. Woodhouse had 

 always shown the keenest interest in our work, and in our com- 

 pany renewed his familiarity with the studj', to which he had 

 been devoted years before. His kindly disposition and enthu- 

 siastic love of birds endeared him to us all, and in his death we 

 recognize the loss not only of an honored member but of a true 

 friend. 



Dr. Hughes made the communication of the evening, "A 

 Trip through Idaho, ' ' treating of his experiences near Oriphaeno, 

 Moscow Co., Idaho, during September of the present year. 

 Ornithology was not the primary object of the trip, and no spe- 

 cimens were collected, but forty-eight species were recorded, 

 some of the more interesting being the White-headed Wood- 

 pecker (Xenopicus albolarvatus), Pinon Jay {Oyanocephalus cya- 

 nocephalus) and Franklin's Grouse (Canachites franklmii). 



Mr. Carter described the efforts of a Flicker (Colaptes auratus 

 luteus) to escape from the attack of a Duck Hawk {Falco pere- 

 gnnusanatum), at Anglesea, N. J., October 2. The bird avoided 

 his pursuer by dropping into shallow water, again by turning 

 suddenly in the air, and finally sought shelter between two 

 sand dunes. 



November 17, 190^.. Twenty-six members present. 

 Mr. Hannum addressed the Club on " Impressions of Colorado 

 Birds," covering his residence at Buena Vista, Col., 1903-4.
