NOTES AND NEWS. 



George Ernest Shelly, a Corresponding Fellow of the American 

 Ornithologists' Union, died in London, November 29, 1910. A notice 

 of his life and works will be given in a later number of this journal. 



In the biographical notice of Manly Hardy, published in the January 

 number of this journal (Auk, XXVIII, 1911, p. 150), he is said to have 

 been elected an Associate Member of the American Ornithologists' Union 

 at its first meeting held in 1883, and that "he retained this membership till 

 1901." By an unfortunate inadvertence the important fact that he was 

 then transferred to the newly established class of Members was not men- 

 tioned. He was not only one of the first to be elected to this class, but 

 remained an honored member of it till his decease. 



The Audubon Society of the State of New York held its Fourteenth 

 Annual Meeting at the American Museum of Natural History, March 16 

 1911. In the absence of the President of the Society, Prof. Henry Fairfield 

 Osborn, Dr. F. A. Lucas presided. The report of the Secretary-Treasurer, 

 Miss Emma H. Lockwood, showed that the past year had been one of 

 unusual activity in the prosecution of its work. Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson, 

 Secretary of the National Association of Audubon Societies, presented a 

 report on current legislation, with particular reference to bills to amend the 

 present bird laws now before the New York Legislature, in order to make 

 the present laws less efficient in behalf of the millinery interests, market 

 hunters, and cold-storage dealers in game. Mr. Herbert K. Job gave an 

 illustrated address on 'Bird Hunting with a Camera.' 



The National Association of Audubon Societies, having found its old 

 quarters at 141 Broadway, New York City, too cramped for its activities, 

 has moved further up town, having taken rooms at 1974 Broadway, near 

 the corner of 67th Street. Here much more commodious rooms have been 

 secured at less cost, and at a point convenient of access from any part of 

 the city. Correspondents of the National Association and intending 

 visitors to its headquarters should carefully make note of the change of 

 address to 1974 Broadway, near the subway and elevated railway sta- 

 tions at 66th Street and Broadway, New York City. 



Mr. Frank M. Chapman, curator of birds at the American Museum of 

 Natural History, sailed from New York on March 13 for several months 

 of field work in western Colombia, in the interest of the American Museum.
