Colorado, were read and accepted. The 
annual financial report of the business man- 
agers, covering the year 1914, was read and 
accepted. This ended the business before 
the meeting. 
Mr. R. Magoon Barnes talked at some 
length, and most entertainingly, on certain 
phases of the work of keeping wild ducks, 
geese and swans in captivity, in which he 
is an acknowledged authority. His com- 
ments upon the Trumpeter Swan in partic- 
ular brought home to those present many 
facts regarding this rare and little known 
bird which most of us either did not know 
or imperfectly realized. Mr. Fred Gran- 
ville, recently returned from a trip to north- 
ern Alaska and Siberia, had on exhibition 
three skins of the Ross Rosy Gull (Rhodos- 
tethia rosea), adults and immatures, and two 
adults of the Spoon-billed Sandpiper ( Eury - 
norhynchus pygmeus) , together with photo- 
graphs of other species of birds, nests and 
eggs. Dr. L. H. Miller exhibited an inter- 
esting series of bird photographs, mostly of 
exotic species; and Mr. Hegner showed pic- 
tures of winter scenes in some of the more 
remote parts of the San Gabriel Mountains. 
Mr. J. E. Law displayed a selection of spe- 
cimens exhibiting most of the plumages of 
the Pacific species of Murres, Auklets, and 
Murrelets. Adjourned. — H. S. Swartii, 
Secretary.
