Club Notes 



Fifteen meetings were held by the Club during the year, the 

 average attendance being twenty- two. This is a gratifying re- 

 turn toward the high-water mark of 1905, 1906 and 1907, when 

 the average was twenty-four for each year. In fifteen years it. 

 has only once (1902) fallen below nineteen.

The attendance of D. V. 0. C. members at the A. 0. U. 

 meeting in Cambridge was lamentably small, Messrs. Stone and 

 Pennock active, and Mr, W. D. W. Miller corresponding, being 

 the only ones present.

As usual Club members were away during the summer; Stone 

 in Wisconsin and Minnesota, Rehn in Texas, Weygandt in New 

 Hampshire, Palmer in Maine, Brown in Bermuda, Hughes in 

 South America, Trotter in the Orkneys, and Moore in Germany.

Mr. Chas. J. Pennock was appointed on December 3, 1912, 

 Curator of the Oological Collection of the Academy of Natural 

 Sciences, Philadelphia, and is making an earnest effort to build 

 up a thoroughly representative collection of eggs and nests, 

 about the nucleus left by the egg collectors of early days.

The Club enjoyed three outings during the spring, the first at 

 Haddonfield on Washington's Birthday, the second at Ardmore 

 on Good Friday, and the third at Beverly on Decoration Day. 

 Seven members participated in the first, ten in the second and 

 eight in the third.

 engraving, from which the plate for the frontispiece of Gen. 

 McCall was made.
