Report for 1914. 



The year 1914 has been the worst for the Union so far 

 experienced, as, owing to the strike, the war, and the rebel- 

 lion, the country has been in a fairly unsettled state. Some 

 of our most active Members have been attending to more 

 serious duties than bird-watching, and papers for the 

 ' Journal ' have been very scarce, with the result that only 

 one number of the ' Journal'' could be issued last year. This 

 contains 51 pages letterpress and two photographic plates. 

 A short number of the 'Bulletin' series was also issued.
