One of the original members of the Society, Mr. J D. 
SIDDALL, recently undertook to write an account of the 
history of the Society, from its inception down to the 
present time; and, after what must have been to him an 
immense amount of labour, there is now in the Press a 
booklet containing much valuable information which can- 
not fail to be of the greatest interest to all those who 
have watched the growth and development of the Society. 
A copy of this booklet, which will be issued with the 
Annual Report of the Society, will be presented to each 
Member free of charge. 
The Society is further indebted to Mr. SIDDALL for 
his kindness in allowing the article, ‘‘Bird-Life in a 
Suburban Garden,” which was written by the late MR. 
CHARLES KINGSLEY SIDDALL, to be circulated amongst the 
members; and this will form a part of the Annual Report 
for the present year. 
Your Committee have met in all twelve times during 
the year for the transaction of the Society’s business, 
and the various Sections have been well represented at 
all these Meetings.
