Meetings of the American Ornithologists' Union 



Since its organization in 1883 the American Ornithologists' Union has 

 held one special and 34 annual meetings. 



These meetings have been held in six cities: 11 in New York, 10 in 

 Washington, 7 in Cambridge (including 1 in Boston), 5 in Philadelphia, 

 and 2 (one special) in San Francisco. Twenty-seven meetings have been 

 held in November and eight in other months. 



The number of Fellows (known as Active Members prior to 1902) has 

 always been limited to 50 and the number present at any meeting has 

 varied from 7 to 28. The attendance of other classes of members in 

 recent years averages over 100. 



The next regular meeting — the 36th Stated — will be held at New York, 

 Nov. 12-14, 1918.

 without an election.
