The Emu. XIII. Part 3. January, 1914. 



This number is taken up largely with the account of the thirteenth 

 meeting of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists' Union, held at Adelaide, 

 November 23-25, 1913, at which Mr. A. H. E. Mattingley was elected 

 president. The field trips in connection with the meeting are of particular 

 interest, especially the trip up the Murray with views of the Cockatoo Cliffs 

 and the White Cockatoo at the entrance to its nesting burrow. In the 

 proceedings we are gratified to note the unanimous passage of a motion 

 by Capt. S. A. White to recommend the use of trinomials in ' The Emu ' 

 for all subspecies. We have felt certain that on sober second thought Aus- 

 tralian ornithologists would come into line with the rest of the world in mat- 

 ters of nomenclature and this is a move in the right direction. Other 

 papers are:
