One meeting during the year, that on September 16, was held in San Francisco, 
and one at the University Library, while the remainder were held at the Museum 
of Vertebrate Zoology. The greater part of the local membership resides in 
Berkeley and so most of the meetings are held there, but in fairness to those 
living in^San Francisco one or more meetings each year will be held in that city. 
The first Thursday of each month has been chosen as the regular meeting night 
and this plan will not be changed except in special circumstances. The organi- 
zation has been maintained in as simple a manner as possible, the conduct of 
the meetings is quite informal, and the only levy during the past year was for 
the printing of meeting notices. 
Those in attendance during the past year feel that much good has resulted 
from the Section and we would strongly urge that members of the Society in 
other localities combine in like manner and establish their own Sections. 
It is the desire of the Section that members of the Society at large from other 
parts of the country, when in the Bay region, will get in touch with the Section 
and attend its meetings. — Tracy I. Storer, Secretary, Museum of Vertebrate 
Zoology^ Berkeley, California.
