Since 1901 the Club has published an annual "Cassinia," 

 named after the famous Philadelphia ornithologist, John Cassin, 

 which contains the proceedings of the meetings, migration re- 

 ports and other matter relating to local ornithology. This is 

 furnished free to Active and Associate Members and at 50 cents 

 per number to others. Some of the early numbers are out of 

 print and complete sets are difficult to secure. 



A volume, " Birds of Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey," 

 compiled by Witmer Stone, has also been published, and may 

 be had at $1.50. 



There are also four small pamphlets covering the early years 

 of the Club's proceedings. 



Blank schedules are furnished to members and others who 

 will keep a record of the spring arrival of birds at their locality 

 and these are returned in June and a combined report prepared 

 which is published and issued to each observer early in the fol- 

 lv')wing year. 



On Washington's Birthday, Good Friday and Decoration 

 Day field trips are arranged for members of the Club only, to 

 points in the neighborhood of the city, which are announced 

 by card. 



The object of the Club is to further the study of ornithology 

 in its widest sense. It stands for the teaching of absolute ac- 

 curacy in observation, believing it better not to publish at all
