how, just as they are met with, and to run over the list every 

 night, ticking off the species noticed during the day, and 

 adding any species not met with before. The utility of a 

 daily record of all birds met with every month seems to me 

 considerable, and if one has to write the names every day 

 without a form it takes a long time, and one is also apt to 

 accidentally omit some of them. With migrants, for instance, 

 it is easy to note the date of their arrival in a district when 

 first seen, but when one has been accustomed to seeing them 

 daily one is apt to find they have slipped away without the 

 date of their departure, in many cases, being even approxi- 

 mately noted." 



[N.B. — It is proposed to hold the usual exhibition of 

 lantern-slides early in the spring of 1902. Any Member 

 who is willing to show pictures on this occasion is requested 

 to communicate with the Secretary or the Editor.] 



The next Meeting of the Club will be held on Wednesday, 

 the 22nd of January, 1902, at 8.30, at the Restaurant 

 Frascati, 32 Oxford Street ; the Dinner at 7 p.m.
