Secretary. 



The museum troop of Boy Scouts has been enlarged by the addition of a 

 fourth patrol, and now includes 31 boys. 



In close proximity to the clamor of autompbiles, trolley cars, wagons 

 and the like at St. George one would naturally not expect to find any repre- 

 sentations from the bird world except the English sparrow and European 

 starling. The following list of 34 species observed on and from the museum 

 grounds since March, 1911 (given in the order of their appearance), may, 

 therefore, prove a source of astonishment to some readers of the Bulletin ; 

 and should induce those bird lovers who are surrounded by adverse condi- 

 tions to cultivate, nevertheless, a receptive ear and a keen eye, for our 

 feathered favorites seem to persist now and then in penetrating to the very 

 heart of our settled midst : — English or house sparrow, European starling, 

 Herring gull, American crow, song sparrow, chipping sparrow, robin, barn 

 swallow, red-eyed vireo, redstart, fish hawk, tufted titmouse, sparrow hawk, 

 loon, sharp-shinned hawk, chimney swift, blue jay, black-crowned heron, tree 

 swallow, ruby-throated hummingbird, common tern, kingfisher, black-poll 

 warbler, myrtle warbler, brown creeper, Canada goose, bluebird, Baltimore 

 oriole, flicker, goldfinch, black tern, downy woodpecker, night hawk, white- 

 throated sparrow. H. H. C. 



It may be of interest to the members of the Association to know that 

 the attendance at the loan exhibit of pictures shown during the summer 

 in the assembly hall of the museum was 1121.

 were received from the following persons : Miss Annie Bainbridge, Miss
