 San Bernardino Valley Section of the Cooper

 afternoon, February 4, 1917, at the residence 

 of Professor F. H. White, Claremont, Cali-

 G. Wiggins, Wilson Hanna and Mrs. Hanna,

 berton and Mrs. Pemberton, Colton. The 

 subject previously arranged for the meeting 

 was sparrows. A large collection of the va- 

 rious species of sparrows and allied forms 

 was brought together by the members, and 

 a general discussion of all matters pertain- 

 ing to that group was eagerly entered into 

 by everyone. 



Miss Hazel Burnham exhibited her col- 

 lection of both pen and ink and colored 

 drawings of study skins, remarkable for 

 detail, and for the painstaking care which 

 bad been taken in their preparation. The 

 Turkey Buzzard belonging to Halsted 

 White, and which has been exhibited at all 

 previous meetings, was present with the 

 sparrows under the name Cathartes aura 

 sandwichensis frontalis socialis! An inno- 

 vation was introduced by Arden Edwards, 

 following the serving of refreshments, by 

 the drawing of a lottery, the winner of 

 which, Miss Tacie Hanna, received a beauti- 

 ful, framed, water-color drawing of the Gol- 

 den-crowned Sparrow, executed by Mr. Ed- 

 wards. The lottery tickets consisted of 

 verses alluding in jocular terms to the now 

 famous Turkey Buzzard. It was agreed to. 

 hold the next meeting early in March at the 

 home of M. French Gilman at Banning, and 

 no special subject was arranged to be dis- 

 cussed, as all desired more particularly to 

 view Mr. Gilman's collection. Adjourned. — 

 J. R. Pembertox, Secretary.
