to cast an electing vote. New names were: 
W. H. Workman, Belfast, Ireland, by W. 
Leon Dawson; and Harry H. Johnson, Pitts- 
field, Maine, by W. Lee Chambers. 
A communication from the Secretary of 
the Pacific Division, American Association 
for the Advancement of Science, relative to 
the annual meeting, was read. Unanimous 
approval was given the action of the execu- 
tive committee in naming Messrs, Grinnell 
and Swarth as editors, and Law and Cham- 
bers as business managers, to succeed them- 
selves in office for the ensuing year. 
In the hour of general discussion that 
followed the formal meeting, various 
theories as to the cause of the unusual ap- 
pearance of mountain birds in the valleys 
were considered. A large flock of Bo- 
hemian Waxwings was reported as having 
been seen almost daily for a number of 
weeks in a nearby town; and a member 
recently returned from the desert recorded 
the finding of several nests of the Leconte 
Thrasher, with eggs or young, on February 
21. Adjourned.—L. E. WyMan, Secretary. 
Marcu.—The regular monthly meeting of 
the Southern Division, Cooper Ornitho- 
logical Club, was held on March 25 at 8 
Pp. M., at the Museum of History, Science 
and Art. President Miller officiated, with 
other members in attendance as follows: 
Messrs, Appleton, Dickey, Hanaford, Howell, 
Lamb, Little, Nokes, Peyton, Pierce, Reis, 
Selwyn Rich, and Wyman. Visitors were 
Mrs. Waldorf and Mr. Woods. 
Minutes of the February meeting were 
read and approved. Harry H. Johnson, 
Pittsfield, Maine, and W. H. Workman, Bel- 
fast, Ireland, were elected to membership 
on motion of Mr. Reis, seconded by Mr.

Helen S. Pratt, Eagle Rock; Eric Deane 
Sismey, Penticton, B. C., Canada; Cecil

Angeles; Johnson Andrew Neff, Marionville, 
Mo.; and Chauncey J. Hawkins, Lowell, 
Mass., by W. Lee Chambers; John Burn- 
ham, San Diego, by A. M. Ingersoll; Nathan 
F. Leopold, Jr., Chicago, by Henry K. Coale. 
Inquiry from the secretary of the Pacific 
Division, American Association for the Ad- 
vancement of Science, as to what part the 
Cooper Club proposed to take in the forth- 
coming meeting at Seattle, resulted in a 
Motion by Mr. Reis, seconded by Mr. Dickey, 
that the Cooper Club affiliate with the 
Western Society of Naturalists, in taking 
Vol. XXII 
part in the program. Motion carried. An 
invitation from the Southwest Museum, to 
hold a meeting at that institution as guests 
of the Bird Lovers’ Club, met unanimous 
favor; April 29 was designated as an ac- 
ceptable time, as this falls on a regular 
meeting date. 
The question of publishing notice of meet- 
ings, in daily papers, as a means of in- 
creasing attendance and membership in the 
Club, was brought before the members. It 
was the sense of the members that Club 
meetings, as generally conducted, would 
have little or no interest for the public; 
and a motion by Mr. Dickey, that the secre- 
tary use his judgment as to publishing 
notice of meetings of unusual interest, was 
carried. . 
Inspection of a tray of study skins of the 
family Alcidae, and the general round of 
discussion of matters ornithological, com- 
pleted the _ session. Adjourned—L. KE. 
WYMAN, Secretary.
