JANUARY.—The regular meeting of the 
Northern Division of the Cooper Ornitholog- 
ical Club was held at the Museum of Verte- 
brate Zoology on January 26, 1922, at 8 P. M. 
President Wright was in the chair, and 
about sixty members and friends were pres- 
ent. 
After the minutes of the preceding meet- 
ing had been read and approved, officers for 
the ensuing year were elected as follows: 
President, H. S. Swarth; Vice-President, J. 
S. Cooper; Secretary, Mrs. J. T. Allen. Mr. 
Swarth then took the chair and called on 
Mr. Charles Keeler for the program of the 
evening—a talk on ‘“‘The Evolution of the 
Colors of Birds’. 
Two new names were proposed for mem- 
bership by Mr. H. W. Carriger: Mr. John L. 
Cole, and Mr. Martin C. Paulson, Nevada, 
lowa. The following resolution was submit- 
ted by Dr. Joseph Grinnell, who moved its 
adoption. Upon second by Mr. Lastreto it 
was unanimously adopted by the Club. 
Whereas, it is rumored that the Regents of 
the University of California are seriously 
considering the use of Strawberry Canyon 
as a site for the proposed stadium, and 
Whereas, Strawberry Canyon comprises a 
part of the Campus in which animal life na- 
tive to the region is continuing under as 
nearly natural conditions as seem possible 
anywhere in the east-bay region, and 
Whereas, Strawberry Canyon is a valuable 
asset for field instruction in general biology 
in certain authorized courses of the Univer- 
sity of California and also serves in similar 
manner all local students of birds and of 
general natural history, ; 
Be it resolved that the Northern Division 
of the Cooper Ornithological Club protest 
emphatically against any move contemplated 
by the Regents of the University of Califor- 
nia which would mean the destruction of 
Strawberry Canyon as regards the values 
here emphasized. 
On motion of Mr. Lastreto, duly seconded, 
a committee of two was appointed to investi- 
gate legislation pending with regard to the 
sale of foreign bird-feathers. Adjourned.— 
AMELIA S. ALLEN, Secretary.
