Ornithology (A. Gordon Leavitt, Chairman ) . 
Very little outside work has been done in this department, but 
the collections have received some careful consideration by the 
Curator, who, having observed that the small branch-birds, such 
as the warblers and finches, appeared to appeal more strongly to 
the visitors (students or others), re-arranged these forms, doing 
away with the old stands on which they were mounted, and giving 
them a position where they could be most easily examined or 
admired. 
A glance at these collections will convince one that the change 
has made a great improvement and, when the rest of the material 
is similarly arranged, the Birds will continue to be one of the 
most attractive features of our collections. 
Finances (A. Gordon Leavitt, Chairman ) . 
After a glance at the treasurer’s statement, the members of 
this Society will surely feel pleased at the present financial 
position. 
The darkest cloud is said to have a silver lining, and, al- 
though the Society had the misfortune to lose a member, Mrs. 
Catherine Murdoch, a lady who took a keen interest in its welfare, 
and who, from time to time, gave to it both financial assistance 
and articles of value for its museum, we have been so well and 
kindly remembered in the will of this lady that we have now on 
hand funds sufficient for the paying off of our entire mortgage 
indebtedness, and place us in that ever enviable position — free 
from debt.
