Yol i909" VI ] Sage > Twenty-sixth Stated Meeting of the A. O. U. 75 



Third Day. — The meeting was called to order by President 

 Nelson. 



The papers of the session, all illustrated by lantern slides, were: 



'Triumphs of Bird Protection in Louisiana,' by Rev. Herbert 

 K. Job. 



'Through Eastern Oregon,' by William L. Finley. 



Resolutions were adopted thanking the Museum authorities 

 of Harvard University for the use of the Geological and Zoological 

 Lecture-rooms; to the Nuttall Ornithological Club for the very 

 cordial welcome and most generous hospitality extended to the 

 visiting members and friends of the Union; to Mr. and Mrs. 

 Charles F. Batchelder and Mr. William Brewster, for the kind 

 attention shown the members and friends of the Union, and to Col. 

 and Mrs. John E. Thayer for the polite invitation to the members 

 of the Union to visit their home and museum at Lancaster, Mass. 



On Friday, November 20, after adjournment of the Union, a 

 "pilgrimage" was made to Lancaster, Mass., by some seventy 

 members and friends of the Union. The party was most cordially 

 received by Col. and Mrs. John E. Thayer, and an inspection made 

 of their fine museum and valuable ornithological library. 



The next meeting of the Union will be held in New York City, 

 commencing December 6, 1909. 



The registered attendance of members at this Stated Meeting 

 was much larger than ever before, and the social features will long 

 be remembered. 



Jno. H. Sage, 



Secretary.
