About Members. 



Mr. Charles Barrett, C.M.Z.S., co-editor of The Emu for several 

 years, is at present in the Royal Park Camp, training for the 

 Army Medical Corps, Australian Expeditionary Force. While 

 co-editor he succeeded in greatly improving The Emu from the 

 point of view of pictorial illustration. A keen bird-lover, it is 

 hoped that he will return safely to continue for many years his 

 valuable work. 



Mr. Gregory M. Mathews, F.R.S.E., R.A.O.U., has been elected 

 a member of the International Commission of Zoological Nomen- 

 clature. Australasian members of the Union, without exception, 

 express pleasure at the appointment, and feel gratified that Aus- 

 tralian ornithology is to be represented at headquarters. For- 

 tunately, Mr. Mathews is a member of the Check-list Committee, 

 and is now in a position to get authoritative decisions. It is 

 hoped that the second edition of the Official Check-list will be 

 up-to-date, scientific, and acceptable to all ornithologists, and the 

 Council expects much assistance from Mr. Mathews in securing, 

 if possible, that most desirable result. The editors heartily 

 congratulate Mr. Mathews, and wish him success.
