Club Notes 



The small size of the present issue is due to the heavy drain 

 upon the Club's resources in getting out last year's Cassinia 

 owing to war prices. Next year it is our hope to issue the 

 usual number of pages, but we must have outside support. If 

 each present subscriber would secure an additional one or would 

 buy up such back numbers as he needs, we should be helped 

 materially. All but two issues can still be supplied at the 

 original cost. The Club has published Cassinia at a loss, in the 

 interests of Ornithology, and all editorial services have been ren- 

 dered voluntarily. 



Thirteen meetings of the Club were held during the year ; 

 only one a month during the autumn on account of war condi- 

 tions. The average attendance was twenty-two. 



Three field trips were taken during the year as follows : 



February 22, 1918. In the vicinity of Mantua Creek at 

 Wenonah, N. J. Members attending, twent)^ ; visitors, two. 

 Intermittent snow all day. Twenty-six species of birds noted, 

 including Long-eared Owl, Fox Sparrow, Myrtle Warbler, Red- 

 winged Blackbird, Purple Crackle, Robin and Bluebird.
