77. Among the letters read was one from Professor Robert Ridgway, 

 of the Smithsonian Institute, acknowledging receipt of the copy of Pro- 

 ceedings of the Subsection that had been sent him and remarking, " I am 

 exceedingly pleased with the appearance and contents of tlie "Proceed- 

 ings," and trust that the important records which the ornithologists of 

 Toronto have begun may be continued for many years to come. The 

 arrangement of the memoranda, while different from anything that I 

 remember having seen before, is an admirable one, and for convenience 

 of reference seems to be most excellent. Should these Proceedings be 

 kept up, they will result in a series of records which cannot help being 

 of the utmost value to science, and a credit to those who originated the 

 plan of their publication, as well as those who foster and encourage the 

 good work."
