SAX BERNARDINO CHAPTER 



After a vacation of some months the meet- 

 ings of the San Bernardino Valley Chapter 

 began again, the first meeting of the sea- 

 son being held at the home of Mr. Hanna, 

 Colton, November 20, 1917. The subject for 

 study was "Jays", and skins and eggs of 

 several species were displayed. Wright M. 

 Pierce, Judge Wall, Wilson Hanna and 

 French Gilman displayed a number of skins, 

 and H. Arden Edwards showed fine sets of 

 eggs of many species, including some of the 

 European Jay. French Gilman led the dis- 

 cussion of the various jays in California 

 and the United States, which was followed 

 by a general exchange of experiences. Full 

 justice was then done to the refreshments 

 served by Mrs. Hanna. Those present were: 

 Judge Wall, R. B. Herron, Wright M. Pierce, 

 H. Arden Edwards, E. D. Palmer, A. F. Gil- 

 man, C. Mabel Gilman, Sarah E. Gilman, M. 

 French Gilman, C. G. Wiggins, Judge Han- 

 na, Mrs. J. B. Hanna, Wilson C. Hanna, and 

 Mrs. Wilson C. Hanna. 



The second meeting was held December 

 18, at the home of Judge J. B. Hanna at 

 Colton. At this meeting the subject of 

 ducks was taken up, and eggs and skins 

 were in evidence. This proved a popular 

 topic, and even the more lukewarm enthusi- 

 asts sat up and took notice. M. French Gil- 

 man gave the results of a recent visit to 

 Salton Sea to investigate the rumors of dead 

 ducks along the shores of the sea. He re- 

 ported that in following the water-line for 

 330 feet he found 185 dead ducks, 5 Coots, 2 

 Florida Gallinules, 4 Eared Grebes, 1 cor- 

 morant, 2 Killdeers, and 1 small sandpiper. 



A meeting was held January 20, at the 

 home of H. Arden Edwards at Claremont. 

 The attendance was not as large as it should 

 have been; for the sight of Mr. Edwards's 

 collection of eggs and nests was worth going- 

 far to see. A real "norther" kept some of 

 the people at home, but those present were 

 glad they had braved the wind. Visitors 

 present were George Willett and C. D. Heg- 

 ner, of Los Angeles. Refreshments served 

 by Mrs. Edwards rounded out a most en- 

 joyable meeting. — M. Frexch Gilman, Sec- 

 retary. 



March. — The regular meeting was held 

 March 17 at the home of M. French Gilman, 

 Banning, California. The subject of grouse, 



and partridges was taken up and specimens 

 of several kinds were shown. A case con- 

 taining a group of Valley Quails mounted 

 by R. B. Herron of Urbita, California, excit- 

 ed much admiration. 



Present were the following members and 

 visitors: Wilson C. Hanna, Mr. and Mrs. J. 

 B. Hanna and Mrs. A. L. Hubrich, all of 

 Colton; Judge Edward Wall, E. D. Palmer, 

 Clifford Smith and W. D. La Niece, of San 

 Bernardino; R. B. Herron, Urbita; Mr. and 

 Mrs. H. A. Edwards and Mr. and Mrs. C. D. 

 Hegner of Claremont; R. Bruce Findlay and 

 Dr. F. D. West of Beaumont; A. F. Beal of 

 Long Beach; Mrs. C. M. Boss and Miss Mary 

 A. Boss of Duluth, Minn. In view of the 

 fact that some of the members were expect- 

 ing to be in the field much of the time it 

 was decided not to hold any more meetings 

 until next fall. — M. Frexch Gilman, Secre- 

 tary.
