THE WILLUGHBYT SOC IV = 
AT a Meeting of Ornithologists, at 6 Tenterden Street Hanover 
Square, on May 7, 1879, Professor Nzwrox in the Chair, it was agreed 
“Thatan Association should be formed for reprinting certain Ornitho- 
logical Works interesting for their utility or rarity." 
The late and present Eprrons of ‘The Ibis? and Mr. TEGETMEIER 
were requested to form an Organising Committee to promote this 
object, and Mr. F. D. GopwaN to act as Secretary. 
The Committee thus appointed met at 11 Hanover Square, on 
June 4, 1879, when it was agreed :— 
I. “ That this Association be called * Tre WILLUGHBY SocIETY 
for the Reprinting of scarce Ornithological Works.’ ” 
II. “That the Annual Subscription be £1, payable to the 
Secretary." 
III. “That no Copies of Works reprinted by Tug WıLLuGHBY 
NocrETY be sold.” 
IV. “That every Member of Tur WirrnvanuBY SocrETY shall be 
entitled to one Copy of each Work printed in the year for 
which he shall subscribe." 
In order to carry out effectually the object of this Society, it is 
necessary that the number of Members should be as large as possible : 
those, therefore, who wish to join it are requested to communicate 
with the Secretary, Mr. F. D. Gopuax, 10 Chandos Street, Cavendish
