South Australian Ornithologist. 



Vol. I.J JULY, 1914. [Part 3. 



Annual Meeting. 



The annual meeting of the S.A. Ornithological Association 

 was held at the Royal Society's Room, North Terrace, Adelaide, 

 on March 27, 1914. 



This Association has again to record a most successful 

 year's work. Nine new members have been elected during 

 the year. 



Rule VII. has been added to, empowering the Society to 

 elect an honorary member, and Mr. Gregory M. Mathews has 

 been elected to fill this position. 



Several new sub-species have been discovered by members. 

 A new Geobasileus was collected about 20 miles north of Ade- 

 laide by Capt. S. A. White, and called by Mathews Geobasileus 

 hedleyi rosinw, the allied Buff-rumped Tit. The same observer 

 also collected what is probably a new night jar in the interior. 

 He also proved that the scarlet under surface of the tail of 

 Calyptorhynchus banJcsi stellatus belongs only to the male, while 

 the barred tail belongs only to the female, not to the young of 

 both sexes. 



The following office bearers were elected for the ensuing 

 year : — 



Mr. J. W. Mellor, President. 



Mr. J. W. Hosking, Vice-President. 



Mr. R. Crompton, Secretary. 



Dr. A. M. Morgan, Capt. S. A. White, Mr. F. R. Zietz, and 



Mr. R. Crompton, Editorial Committee for the S.A. 



Ornithologist.
