ANNUAL MEETING. 



The sixth annual meeting of the Wilson Ornithological Club 

 will be held in the lecture room of the Zoological Laboratory of ^ 

 the University of Chicago (the Hull Biological Laboratories) on 

 Monday and Tuesday, December 27 and 28, 1920, in connection 

 with the meetings of the American Association for the Advance- 

 ment of Science. The most of the American Association meet- 

 ings occur later in the same week, so that there will be few con- 

 flicts with our meetings. 



While there will be a program of unusual interest and value, 

 there will also be business transacted of great significance toi 

 every member of the Club, relating to the future policy of the 

 organization. It is earnestly hoped that the attendance of mem- 

 bers at the first business session, which will occur on Monday 

 morning, at 8:30 o'clock, hiay be large and representative. 



Details of the program cannot be given at this early date, but 

 it can be stated that there will be sessions for the reading of 

 papers on Monday afternoon and evening, and on Tuesday morn- 

 ing and afternoon if necessary, to which the general public in 

 invited.
