Report of the Spring Migration of 1 9 1 1 



COMPILED BY WITMER STONE 



The number of schedules returned to the Club for 1911 was 

 thirty-eight, less than any year since this record was begun. 

 Serious efiPorts are to be made by the migration committee to 

 materially increase the number of observers for 1912 and the 

 cooperation of all of the present corps is earnestly solicited. 

 We particularly desire more records from within ten or fifteen 

 miles of Philadelphia, notably from Germantown, Chestnut 

 Hill, Media, Overbrook, Olney, Woodbury, Merchantville, etc., 

 and from West Chester, Norristown, Conshohocken, Mt. Holly, 

 etc. Names of capable observers should be sent to Mr. Wm. 

 E. Roberts, Chairman D. V. 0. C. Migration Committee, Acad- 

 emy of Natural Sciences, Logan Square, Phila. , who will supply 

 blank schedules and answer any queries in regard to the work. 



The Club has now preserved one of the most important records 

 of bird migration ever brought together in this country, and 

 every efifort should be made, not only to prevent any individual 

 record from lapsing, but to secure additional observers to sup- 

 plement and continue the work that our older observers have 

 so well begun.
