A letter from Congressman H. Z. Osborne, 
relative to the Yellowstone Park matter, 
promising vigilance in protecting the cause 
espoused by the Cooper Club, was read. 
Mr. Dickey presented the following com- 
munication: 
The death of Mr. Daggett necessitates elec- 
tion of a new custodian for the ornithological 
library bequeathed to the Southern Division 
many years ago by Mr. G. H. Chambliss and 
known as the Chambliss Library. 
Mr. Lee Chambers, owing to the fact that 
he is already caring for certain of the Club’s 
books, manuscripts, field notes, photographs, 
ete., and to his general knowledge of books 
of this nature, would seem the logical suc- 
ecssor to this custodianship. 
I, therefore, nominate Mr. Lee Chambers 
as Custodian of all books, pamphlets, prints, 
ehotographs, manuscripts, etc., which are, or 
shall become, the property of the Southern 
Division of the Cooper Ornithological Club, 
his tenure of this position to be at the pleas- 
ure of the Club. 
In making this nomination. I further move 
that, if elected, Mr. Chambers be instructed 
to formally list all such material as he be- 
comes custodian of (including the Chambliss 
Library) and submit that report at his early 
convenience to some subsequent meeting of 
the Southern Division of the Club, to the end 
that this list of books, ete., which we hope 
will be the nucleus ultimately of a complete 
ornithological working library, may be spread 
upon the minutes of that subsequent meeting 
of the Club, and that the members of the 
Southern Division may know how far this 
work of accumulation has already progressed. 
I further suggest that Mr. Chambers, in 
ease of his election as Custodian, take such 
measures as he may deem fit to secure the

absolute safety of this library while at the 
same time keeping it as available for refer- 
ence as is compatible with that safety. 
Motion as above by D. R. Dickey, seconded 
by Dr. Nokes. Carried unanimously. 
Adjourned.—W. Lee CHAMBERS, Secretary 
pro tem.
