aie | Saar, Thirty-fourth Stated Meeting of the A. O. U. 85 
Resolutions were adopted thanking the Academy of Natural 
Sciences for the use of the hall for a place of meeting for the Union, 
and for other courtesies extended; to the Local Committee and 
other Philadelphia ornithologists for the cordial welcome and most 
generous hospitality shown visiting members and friends of the 
Union during its Thirty-fourth Stated Meeting, and to the Zodlogi- 
cal Society of Philadelphia for its kind invitation to visit the Gar- 
dens of the Society. 
After the adoption of the Peale the President, Dr. Fisher, 
spoke of the attention paid the visiting members of the Union by 
the local ornithologists, and voiced the sentiment of all that the 
sessions just closing were the most interesting and enjoyable since 
the foundation of the Union. 
On Friday, November 17, after adjournment of the Union, Dr. 
Spencer Trotter conducted a party to “ Mill Grove,” on the Per- 
kiomen, the former home of Audubon and to “Fatland Ford” 
the former home of Mrs. Audubon. The same day Messrs. J. 
Fletcher Street and Samuel Scoville, Jr., acted as guides for a 
party visiting the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. On Saturday, 
November 18, several members of the Union went to the grave of 
Alexander Wilson in the Old Swedes Church Yard on Water 
Street, Philadelphia and the Bonaparte house where the ornitholo- 
gist once resided was also visited. 
The registered attendance of members at the Stated Meeting 
just closed was larger than ever before, and the number of new 
members elected will please every one interested in the continued 
success of the Union. 
The next meeting of the Union will be held in Cambridge, Mass. 
in 1917, the date to be determined by the local committee. 
JoHN H. Sag, 
Secretary.
