 Mr. Morris followed with an account of a canoe trip made dur- 

 ing June of 1910 in the region of the upper Delaware. The 

 unusual abundance of the birds of prey impressed the speaker, 

 a number of Bald Eagles being observed. General discussion

 tain-regions of the East. Mr. Stone read a biographical sketch 

 of William Gambel.
