The club voted to hold the next summer meeting at St. Johnsbury 

 at the invitation of the St. Johnsbury museum, July 6, 1915. The fol- 

 lowing were appointed as a committee to have charge of the arrange- 

 ments: Miss Alice W. Wilcox, Miss Howe, Miss Mabel A. Shields, W. E. 

 Balch. 



The annual supper to visiting members and roll call was held at 

 Commons hall at 6. p. m. At 7 p. m. the clubs listened to an extremely 

 interesting illustrated lecture by Herbert K. Job, entitled "Value and 

 Profit from Wild Birds." 



During the sessions the following papers were read: "Some Bird 

 and Flower Experiences," by Miss Inez Addie Howe of St. Johnsbury; 

 "Field Notes on Birds," by George H. Ross of Rutland; "The Audubon 

 Society of Vermont," by Prof. A. E. Lambert of Middlebury; "A Study 

 in Bird Ecology," by Mrs. A. B. Morgan of Woodstock; "What Happens 

 in the Bird's Egg" (illustrated by lantern slides), by Dr. H. F. Perkins 

 of Burlington; "Observation of Birds along the Source of the Black 

 River," by Mrs. W. H. Moore of Woodstock; "The Occurrence of the 

 Short-billed Marsh Wren and Henslow's Sparrow at Clarendon," by 

 L. H. Potter, Clarendon. 



Twelve botanical papers were read and discussed. Pres. Ezra 

 Brainerd's talk on "New Stations for Rare Forms of Rubus in Vermont" 

 was of especial interest and Professor Peitersen's paper entitled "Some 

 Problems in the Study of Vermont Blackberries" was highly instructive.
