Solan Gannet. — Sula hassana. — In mature plumage. Killed at 

 Fretherne, Feb. 1862. 



Sclavonian Grebe. — Podiceps cornutus. — Killed at Tewkesbury, 

 June, 1862. This bird, though killed in Summer, 

 was in the same immature plumage as that already 

 mentioned by me as having been killed at Elmore 

 in the Winter of 1861. From this it would seem 

 probable that this bird has hitherto escaped more 

 frequent observation from the rarity of its occur- 

 rence in the breeding plumage, rather than from 

 the infrequency of its visits to our Western coasts. 



With this summary of facts observed and of work done during the 

 past season, I conclude this address. And while heartily thanking 

 you for the renewed mark of your confidence in again appointing me 

 to the honorable office of President, I call upon you all for continued 

 and increased labor and energy, and doubt not, with your assistance, 

 to maintain the credit and extend the sphere of usefulness of the 

 Cotteswold Club.
