198 The Wilson Bulletin — No. 101 



THE ANNUAL MEETING 



Our affiliation with the American Association for the Ad- 

 vancement of Science makes it advisable for us to hold our 

 annual meeting with this Association when its meetings are 

 held within our territory. Therefore the executive board has 

 decided to hold the coming annual meeting of the Wilson 

 Ornithological Club in Pittsburg on January 1 and 2, 1918, 

 these being the dates when the Largest number of members 

 would be able to attend. There is good prospect of an in- 

 teresting list of papers and a good attendance. Members and 

 others who are planning to attend these meetings should also 

 plan to present something from their studies and experiences. 

 One feature it is proposed to introduce is a symposium upon 

 the effect of the exceptional weather conditions of the year 

 upon the bird life of the region which we regard as pecul- 

 iarly ours. 



The place of meeting will be 304 State Hall, University of 

 Pittsburg. The general headquarters will be Hotel Schenley. 



Titles of papers, with a brief abstract and statement of the 

 time desired for presentation, should be mailed to the secre- 

 tary, G. A. Abbott, Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich., at as early 

 a date as possible, so that the program may be arranged to 

 the best advantage.
