National Audubon Society. Our President has reported forty pairs of Martins 

 in his garden this summer. 



Mr. Ingersoll told us that the most beautiful bird he had ever seen was a 

 Redstart, which was pure white except the wings, which were yellow, a very 

 rare case. — Caroline C. Walbridge, Secretary. 



Seattle (Washington) Audubon Society. — ^The second year of our 

 Society has been one of success, both in the increase in membership and in 

 interest shown. 



There are now 132 active members. Regular monthly meetings are held in 

 the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club, where lectures 

 have been given by Samuel F. Rathbun, Prof. Trevor Kincaid, Miss Mc- 

 Carney, and others. We have had a number of 'bird-walks' which have been 

 well attended and much pleasure and knowledge derived therefrom. The public 

 school teachers have entered into the work whole-heartedly, and too much 

 praise cannot be given them for the work that they are doing with the school- 

 children. 



Our chief activity during the year was a bird-exhibit which was given in 

 conjunction with the manual training department of the city schools. Bird-
