THE QUESTION OF THE INTERN. PROT. OF BIRDS COMES TO HUNGARY 77 
We have to treat specially here of Class IV (VI), which almost 
exclusively discussed the question of the protection of birds. 
The functions of the class were opened by Major-General 
Bela Ghyczy de Ghicz and Assakurt, the delegate of the 
Hungarian organisation. 
The class elected the following officers: 
Chairman: Alexander Homeyer, Greifswald. 
Vice-Chairman: Jacoby von Wangelin, Merseburg. 
Secretary: Gvula Szalkay, Budapest. 
The other members of the class were: Edmund Szeniczey, 
Budapest; Geza Koppely, Budapest; Zimmermann, K5nigs- 
berg; Andor Locherer, Budapest; Dr. Russ, Berlin; Tischer, 
Augsburg; Lieut.-Colonel v. Wolffersdorff, Sondershausen ; 
Taeschlein, Augsburg ; Dr. Fatio, Geneva ; Zeller and 
Pallisch, Vienna; Talsky, Neutitschein; Seidl, Bosewitz; 
Baron Berg, Strassburg ; Vadaszffy, Budapest; Count Zeppelin, 
Stuttgart; Tamasy, Budapest; Baron Konig-Warthausen, 
Stuttgart; Michel, Bodenbach; Dr. HorvAth, Budapest; 
G. Bikkesy, Magyar-Ovar. 
Addresses were given by v. Wangelin (in Prof. Liebe's 
name too) and Izidor Maday. 
The class at once entered into a discussion of the 
Li EBE— Wangelin report, which took as its starting-point 
the resolution passed at the International Ornithological Con- 
gress held at Vienna in 1884 and then passed in review the 
measures in force in the various states of Europe for the 
protection of birds. 
This review forms an organic part of the history of in- 
ternational bird-protection; so an extract of the same is in 
place here.^ ,
