178 Annual General Meeting of the B. O. U. 
A vote of thanks to the Council of the Zoological Society 
of London for the use of their rooms during the past year 
was unanimously agreed to. 
In accordance with the resolution passed at the last Annual 
General Meeting, the Committee submitted the following 
Scheme for the commemoration of the Jubilee of the British 
Ornithologists’ Union in 1908 :— 
« Asthe B. O. U. was founded at Cambridge in November 
1858 it seems clear that Cambridge would be the most 
suitable place for the Jubilee Meeting, and November 
1908 the most suitable date. ‘I'he Committee therefore 
recommend :— 
“1, That the Jubilee Meeting (to celebrate the fiftieth 
Anniversary of the B.O. U. and the completion of the fiftieth 
volume of ‘The Ibis’) be held at Cambridge in the beginning 
of November 1908. 
«2. That all Members of the Union at home and abroad 
be invited to attend it. 
“3. That the Members be asked to assemble on one day, 
and to hold a General Meeting on the next, to be followed 
by a Dinner. 
“4. That, if it can be arranged, the Dinner shall take 
place in the Hall of Magdalene College, as in November 
1858.” 
This Scheme was approved of, and it’ was proposed by 
Mr. H. J. Elwes, seconded by the Hon. Walter Rothschild, 
and carried :— 
“That it be an instruction to the Committee to 
prepare a short account of the foundation of the Union 
and of the work of the early Members, and that this be 
illustrated by photographs of the Members included, 
and be published in the fiftieth volume of ‘The Ibis.’ ” 
A hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the 
Meeting.
