An Invitation. 



At the fifth annual election of the 

 Wilson Ornithological Chapter of the 

 Agassiz Association, held Nov. 20, 1892 

 the following officers were elected, Pres- 

 ident, Lynds Jones, Oberlin, Ohio; Vice 

 President, C., C. Maxtield, Danbury, 

 Conn.; Secretary. Willard N. Clut'e, 

 Binghamton, N. Y.; Treasurer, Reuben 

 M. Strong, Oberlin, Ohio. This Chap- 

 ter is rapidly taking its place among 

 the foremost of American ornithologi- 

 cal societies. By a system of co-opera- 

 tive correspondence the members are 

 able to accomplish much more than 

 would be possible if workingalone. In 

 four years the membership has grown 

 to one hundred and fifty, about equally 

 divided into Active and Associate class- 

 es. The Active members have entire 

 control of the Chapter. A new consti- 

 tution has bee;i recently adopted and 

 the new methods it embodies puts the 

 Chapter on a sound working basis and 

 will enable it to make a much greater 

 growth. In 1893 it is expected to award 

 several prizes to the members making 

 the best progress in Ornithology. The 

 Chapter also provides for the publica- 

 tion of all reports made by the members. 



In order to accomplish the best re- 

 sults, the Chapter desires to have the 

 name of every American ornithologist 

 on its roll of membership, and all read- 

 ers of the Oologist who wish to join 

 are requested to address the President 

 or Secretary. A copy of the new con- 

 stitution and other matter explaining 

 the Chapter will be sent to all who ap- 

 ply for it. Everyone who wishes to ad- 

 vance American ornithology should be 

 in this Chapter. The next election of 

 members occurs in March.
