Resignation ofChas. L. Barrett.

L^nd Oct 



Adelaide Session, 1909, Mr. Barrett has done much to improve the 

 official journal of the Union, especially on the pictorial side. He 

 is responsible for the introduction of the " Camera Craft " section, 

 which promises to do much towards realizing the aims of the 

 Union. 



An enthusiastic bird lover and protector, he has received several 

 honorary memberships as a recognition from overseas nature- 

 lovers. The latest of these is the election to the honour of Corre- 

 sponding Member of the Zoological Society of London (C.M.Z.S.) 

 Mr. Barrett recently relinquished office as president of the Bird 

 Observers' Club, of which he was one of the founders. 



The Council of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists' Union 

 wishes Mr. Barrett a safe return and a long life to continue his 

 successful work in adding to our knowledge of the Australian 

 fauna and developing the appreciation of this amongst young Aus- 

 tralians.
