DAYS WITH OUK BIRDS. V 



In regard to Section VI, a decided difference of opinion still 

 exists. A majority of your Committee recommend a change of 

 phraseology of the second paragraph of the section, so as to make 

 its meaning more clear. 



The Board of Control of the State Agricultural Experiment 

 Station having been merged with the Trustees of the Massachu- 

 setts Agricultural College, a change in Section II is necessitated 

 thereby. 



A copy of the various changes suggested by your Committee 

 has been type- written, and is herewith submitted. 



In connection with the consideration of the interests of our 

 Society, and the largely increased valuation of its property, your 

 Committee wish to suggest, and earnestly recommend, that its 

 property be put in the care of a Board of Trustees, in order to its 

 more secure and efficient management. To this end we recommend 

 that legal counsel be employed to advise in regard to the mode of 

 procedure. 



William Nicholson, of Framingham, and 



Leonard Thompson, of Woburu, 

 having been recommended by the Executive Committee for mem- 

 bership in the Society, were, on ballot, duly elected. 



Adjourned to Saturday, February 2.
