President: We shall be glad to hear from Mr. Fearing, 

 of Rhode Island, on the matter of indexing the Transactions 

 of the Society. 



Mr. Daniel B, Fearing. Rhode Island: A couple of 

 years ago I volunteered to have an index of the publica- 

 tions of the Society made, and the task was started ; but 

 my librarian, who has been doing the work very cheer full}', 

 has informed me that she is going to get married, and has 

 left me. The work will be done, however, and \ simply 

 wish to report progress, and that the index will be ready, 

 for printing soon. 



President: We are greatly indebted to Mr. Fearing for 

 his work. 



Through the courtesy of Mr. Wallace Evans, ornitholo- 

 gist, of Oak Park, 111., and Mr. Richard E. Follett, of the 

 Detroit Zoological Society, Detroit, Mich., the Society was 

 treated to a very interesting and instructive exhibition of 

 colored motion pictures of various wild birds, also of salmon 

 fishing in the north and of the tuna fishing of Italy.
