THE WILLUGHEY Soci 
At a Meeting of Ornithologists, at 6, Tenterden-street, Hanover-square, 
on May 7, 1879, Professor Newton in the Chair, it was agreed “That 
an Association should be formed for reprinting certain Ornithological 
Works interesting for their utility or rarity.” 
The late and present Eprrors of “The Ibis” and Mr TrGErMEIER 
were requested to form an Organising Committee to promote this 
object, and Mr F. GopMAN 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 ‘THe WiLLuGHByY Soctery for 
the reprinting of scarce Ornithological Works.’ ” 
Il. “That the Annual Subscription be £1, payable to the 
Secretary.” 
III. “That no Copies of Works reprinted by. THE WILLUGHBY 
Society be sold.” 
IV. “That every Member of THe WitiucHBy 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. Gopman, 10, Chandos-street, Cavendish- 
square, W.C.
