As Secretary of the Ornithological Section of the 

 Seventh International Zoological Congress to be held in 

 Boston during the week beginning August the 19th, I am 

 making every effort to secure a representative attendance of 

 ornithologists from abroad. We rely especially upon our 

 British friends to make the meeting a success, and I should be 

 greatly obliged to you if you will bring the matter before 

 the Club and urge all those who can do so to attend the 

 Congress. I shall be pleased to enter into correspondence
