" There are 28 candidates for ordinary membership, and 

 the Committee regret that there is not a very much larger

 are presenting to-day to Dr. W. Eagle Clarke the Godman-

 done in reference to migration." 



Mr. F. J. Waydelin, remai-kiiig on the resignations, sug- 

 gested that a number of members had resigned and certain 

 persons had also objected to joining the Union for the reason 

 that large numbers of eggs had been exiiibited at meetings 

 (vide the Bulletin of the British Ornithologists^ Club) which 

 was contrary to Rule 7 of the Union.
