The N. O. A. met and organ- 
ized at Portland, Oregon, Decem- 
ber 28th. Officers were elected 
for the ensuing year. The objects 
of the association are to advance 
the scieuce of ornithology in all its 
forms; to disseminate ornithologi- 
cal knowledge in the Northwest; 
to awaken an interest in the study 
by both old and young, and to im- 
part mutual benefit to its members. 
The immediate work of the asso- 
ciation will be to form a complete 
list of Oregon birds, if possible, 
and as the association has mem- 
bers in all parts of Oregon it is 
expected a complete list will be 
perfected. Monthly meetings 
will be held at Portland, Oregon. 
The assistance of ali earnest or- 
nithologists is desired in connection 
with our work, therefore, a cordial 
invitation is extended to all 
ornithologists of the Northwest to 
join. There were present ornith- 
ologists from throughout the entire 
state. Application for member- 
ship may be sent to the president,
