THE WILSON BULLETIN — September, 1922 
NOTES ^HERE AND THERE 
Conducted by the Secretary 
President T. L. Hankinson, of The Wilson Club, spent part of the 
months of August and September in North Dakota, at the Biological Sta- 
tion on Devil’s Lake. Professor Hankinson is making some studies for 
the North Dakota Natural History Survey. 
The yearbook for 1921 of the Milwaukee Public Museum is at hand 
and is replete with interesting articles throughout its 100 pages. Articles 
on collecting trips for birds and bird group material are included, from 
the pens of Messrs. Herbert L. Stoddard and George Shrosbree of the 
museum staff. A number of photographs illustrate the nesting of the 
Duck Hawk, Double-crested Cormorant, and Great Blue Heron, in Wis- 
consin. 
Revised articles of agreement have been concluded between The Wil- 
son Ornithological Club and The Nebraska Ornithologists’ Union. The 
original affiliation, which was consummated in 1915, has been revised to 
conform to the recent increase in dues. 
Rev. W. F. Henninger has immigrated to Brazil from his former home 
at New Bremen, Ohio. Rev. Henninger is located at Caclioeira in the 
State of Rio Grande do Sul and will doubtless experience much pleasure 
in becoming acquainted with a new avifauna. 
Bird-Lore for July-August, reviews The Wilson Bulletin with pleas- 
ant commendation on its improved appearance, size and quality. We are 
very much appreciative of this friendly mention and, together with a 
return of the compliment, we wish our worthy contemporary many more 
years of success and prosperity. 
Mr. Ben J. Blincoe, formerly of Bardstown, Ky., is now located at 
Dayton, Ohio. Bird-men of “ The Blueglass State ” are hoping that their 
loss will not be a permanent one. 
Dr. Wilfred H. Osgood, Curator of the Department of Zoology of the 
Field Museum of Natural History at Chicago, has recently reorganized 
and augmented the staff of that department. The division of ornithology 
includes Dr. C. E. Hellmayr, Associate Curator; Mr. John T. Zimmer, 
Assistant Curator; Mr. Colin C. Sanborn, Assistant. Mr. Boardman Con- 
over is a volunteer associate, and Mr. R. Magoon Barnes, whose fine 
odlogical collections will be deposited in the museum, has been appointed 
Curator of the division of Birds Eggs. 
Dr. W. S. Strode, formerly of Lewiston, 111., and one of the “ old 
school ” bird men, has taken up residence in California at Hollywood. 
According to The Oologist, Dr. Strode has “ struck oil,” and it may be 
presumed that henceforth he will be able to indulge in his several hob- 
bies to the fullest. 
One of the recent rare accessions to the New York Zoological Park 
is a Duck-billed Platypus, the rare egg-laying Australian mammal which 
is usually spoken of as half bird, half beast. It is twenty inches in length
