noon and on holidays. During the migration season, in May, early morning 

 walks are conducted in two city parks. On Wednesday afternoons in May, the 

 Club enthusiasts combined picnic suppers and round-table talks while they 

 looked for birds. Our trips have been so well attended this year that on several 

 occasions we have had two or even more on the same day. Our meetings have 

 been well attended. The Hst of speakers for the year and their subjects follows : 

 Judge Charles F. Jenney, of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, ' The Birds of 

 A^rizona;' Dr. John B. Brainerd, 'The Birds of California and the Northwest;' 

 Dr. R. C. Achorn, 'A Canoe Trip through Northern Maine and New Bruns- 

 wick;' L. R. Talbot, 'Autumn Birds in New Hampshire ' and 'Bird- Walks 

 on European Highways and Byways;' and Charles B. Floyd, 'Winter 

 Water-Birds. ' 



We have also held frequent round-table talks of a more informal nature, 

 at which members have recounted their experiences with the birds and compared 

 notes. April 29 and 30, the Club entertained the New England Federation of 

 Natural History Societies at its annual meeting. A natural history exhibition 

 was open to the pubhc during the Federation meeting and throughout the 

 following week, and was attended by 1,900 persons. Some of our members 

 have become greatly interested in bird-banding. One has banded seventy- 

 five birds of fourteen species during the past season. While the Brookline 

 Bird Club works primarily along the lines of popular interest in bird-obser- 

 vation, we want also to help as far as possible in more technically scientific 

 lines of work. — L. R. Talbot, President. 



Burrough's Junior Audubon Society of Kingston (N. Y.). — Our Society

 ofi&cers were elected: Honorary President, Miss Mauterstock; President, 

 Elizabeth Burroughs; Vice-President, Francis Lennox; Secretary, Ethel 

 Schafer; Treasurer, Agatha Flick. 



A regular meeting of the Society was held on the first Tuesday of every 

 month. The Society celebrated Bird Day on April 8, 1921, in the high school 

 auditorium, when a number of its members gave an interesting program ap- 

 propriate to the day. The Society secured Edward Avis who gave a most 

 pleasing recital on the evening of April 29, which was largely attended 

 by the many bird-lovers of Kingston. The Society, at the request of the 

 National Association, wrote to some of the United States Senators opposing 

 bills intended to infringe on our National Parks. On March 5, 192 1, the 

 Society held its annual bird party and all present had a very enjoyable time. — 

 (Miss) Ethel Schafer, Secretary. 



Canandaigua (N. Y.) Bird Club. — The Club was organized in July, 1918.
