44 THE WILSON BULLETIN— March, 1921 



at Hickman, Ky., during the late eighties, is now located at Ver- 

 sailles, Ky., having recently received his discharge from the Medical 

 Corps of the A. E. P. Dr. Pindar founded the young Oologists As- 

 sociation, which was the forerunner of The Wilson Club, and with 

 our present Editor, our present President, Past President Frank 

 L. Burns, and others, laid the foundations for our organization. 

 Dr. Pindar is planning to take upi more actively his long neglected 

 ornithological work. 



The Tennessee Ornithological Society has recently launched 

 The Middle Tennessee Audubon Society and has entrusted to the 

 new organization that portion of its work dealing with bird pro- 

 tection and education. 



The Field Museum of Natural History at Chicago will open its 

 doors to the public on June 1, 1921. The structure, which has been 

 many years in building, will be one of the handsomest in the 

 world devoted to museum purposes. We hope to give more details 

 in a later number. 



The Oologist Exchange and Mart, a well conducted little 

 monthly published in England by Mr. Kenneth Skinner, is hence- 

 forth to be issued quarterly under the name of The Oologists' 

 Record. 



Our worthy contemporary. The Condor, is traveling the same 

 stormy financial sea as is The Wilson Bulletin and is going to 

 make the best of it until prices come back. Dr. Joseph Grinnell 

 advises that they are succeeding nicely toward raising an endow- 

 ment fund, the interest of which will go toward maintaining the 

 publication. 



The National Association of Audubon Societies have available 

 for exhibition some wonderfully fine motion pictures of bird life. 

 Those taken along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and in Florida 

 by Messrs. Flnley and McClintock are probably the finest series 

 of motion pictures ever taken of wild birds. Mr. Pearson, for 

 many years secretary of the societies, is now its president, having 

 succeeded the late William Dutcher. 



It is a foregone conclusion that as a feature of our next an- 

 nual meeting the sessions will be so arranged that our members 

 may indulge more lengthily in informal interchange of notes and 

 the making of new acquaintances. When bird students get together 

 the conversation never drags so " talk tests " galore will be in 

 order. 



The museum of ornithology of Emory University in Atlanta 

 is now the repository of the fine collections of Rev. Wm. L. La, 

 Prade of that city. Mr. La Prade, who is Honorary Curator, is an 

 ardent field worker and is adding new material constantly. A list
