Orto.v Hall, Monday, Feb. 3, 1908. 
The Biological Club on the above named date, met in Orton 
Hall as usual, and the minutes of the previous meeting were read 
and approved. The name of Miss Emily Hollister was proposed 
for membership. 
Prof. Landacre gave an excellent report of the neurological 
papers presented at the Chicago Meeting of the A. A. A. S.

“Drainage Modifications near Lakeville, Ohio.” - A series of 
stream modifications has taken place here which seems to be

In reports of personal observations, McCray mentioned 
observing last fall an unusual number of honey bees working on 
red clover. Prof. Hine reported the securing for the department

authentic record of this bird for Ohio. R. J. Sim reported that 
a specimen of Brunnich’s Murre was taken in Ashtabula County, 
Ohio, during the holiday vacation. This is the second recorded 
occurrence of this bird for the State. 
The Club adjourned to meet in four weeks.

he may be hopelessly confused. Yet while it possesses this
