The Committee on Biography and Bibliography, through its 

 chairman, Dr. Palmer, submitted a brief verbal report showing 

 progress in several of the projects mentioned in previous reports. 

 Dr. Glover M. Allen, who has been appointed a member of the 

 Committee, has been devoting his attention mainly to the prepa- 

 ration of an index of papers relating to types and special collections 

 of birds and has already brought together about 200 titles. Work 

 has been continued on the 'Index of Portraits of Ornithologists' 

 and the entries have been increased from 700 to about 770, of which 

 nearly 50 per cent are those of present or past members of the 

 Union. In addition to new entries a number of new portraits of 

 individuals already in the list have been indexed. Progress has 

 also been made on the 'Bibliography of Bibliographies.' Much 

 time has been devoted to the study already mentioned of the 

 membership of the Union and to securing full names of the members 

 to complete the records. In the matter of manuscripts it is inter- 

 esting to mention that the valuable set of diaries of the late Prof. 

 F. E. L. Beal, comprising more than 50 volumes and extending 

 over a period of nearly 40 years, has recently been deposited 

 in the library of the L T . S. Department of Agriculture; and that 

 an interesting manuscript of Titian R. Peale, relating to the 

 history of the Wilkes Exploring Expedition, has been acquired by 

 the Smithsonian Institution.
