Khjlith Animal General Meeting. 67 



The Meniborship at date, after deJuctiii<r deaths, resigna- 

 tion, and defaulters, numbers 93 Ordinary and 8 Honorary — 

 a falling off of over 2^) on the figures of two years ago. 



Publications. — Two numbers of the Journal were issued 

 during 1910, forming Vol. VL, with 81 pp. letterpress, 

 one photographic and one coloured lithographic plate of 

 eggs. 



Migration. — The Third Report, consisting for the most 

 part of observations made during 1909 and 1910, is now in 

 the press, being included in No. 2, Vol. VII. In order to 

 get this woriv pushed a bit during the coming year, I would 

 beg that a new Committee for the purpose be elected, as my 

 official duties are now too heavy to warrant my continuing 

 the work alone and unaided. ^Several Members of the old 

 Committee are now al^sent from Pretoria. 



Obituary. — Besides the Members of the Union previously 

 mentioned, we have also to record the death of Capt. G. E. 

 Shelley, the author of the unfinished but somewhat exhaus- 

 tive ' Birds of Africa.' 



Office-Bearers. — Mr. Langford, on the completion of his 

 term of office on the Ed. Com., retires by virtue of Rule 10, 

 thus creating a vacancy on the Ed. Com. He is, however, 

 eligible for reelection. Owing to the transference of Mr. E. 

 C. Chubb to the Durban Museum it will be necessary to 

 elect a new Member of Committee for Rhodesia, and, owinir 

 to Mr. Taylor's departure for Canada, a new Member for 

 Transvaal. 



Agents. — The stock of back numbers and the business was 

 transferred from R. H. Porter to Messrs. Witherby & Co. 

 at the beginning of this year.
