THE WILLUGHBY SOCIETY. 



At a Meeting of Ornithologists, at 6, Tonterden-street, Hanover-square, 

 on May 7, 1879, Professor Newtox in the Chair, it was agreed "That 

 an Association should be formed for reprinting certain Ornithological 

 Works interesting for tiieir utility or rarity." 



The late and present Editors of " The Ibis " and Mr Tegetmeiek 

 were requested to fw-rn an Organising Committee to promote this 

 object, and Mr F. Godman to act as Secretary. 



The Committee thus appointed met at 11, Hanover-square, on 

 June 4, 1879, when it was agreed : — 



I. " That this Association be called ' The Willughby Society for 

 the reprinting of scarce Ornithological Works.'" 



II. "That the Annual Subscription be £1, payable to the 

 Secretary." 



III. "That no Copies of Works reprinted by The Willughby 



Society be sold." 



IV. " That every Member of The Willughby Society shall be 



entitled to one Copy of each Work printed in the year for 

 which he shall subscribe." 



In order to carry out effectually the object of this Society, it is 

 necessary that the number of Members should be as large as possible : 

 those, therefore, wlio wish to join it are requested to communicate 

 with the Secretary, Mr F. D. Godman, 10, Chandos-street, Cavendish- 

 square, W.C. 



The following works have been already issued by the Society : —
