THE CONDOR 
Vol. XVIII 
A report of the finances of the Club, 
rendered by the business managers, Messrs. 
Chambers and Law, was read by Mr. Grin- 
nell. The report was accepted and placed 
on file, and on motion of Mr. Mailliard a 
committee of two was appointed by the 
President to draw up a resolution express- 
ing the Division’s appreciation of the effi- 
cient and self-sacrificing services of 
Messrs. Chambers and Law in conducting 
the business of the Club. Mr. Mailliard and 
Dr. W. F. Bade were appointed on this 
committee. 
The President announced that at the re- 
quest of the other two officers of the Divi- 
sion he had assumed the work which Dr. 
Taylor had been obliged to give up in re- 
signing from his position as Chairman of 
the Permanent Committee on Conservation 
of Wild Life and as Cooper Club representa- 
tive on the Executive Committee of the Cal- 
ifornia Associated Societies for the Conser- 
vation of Wild Life. 
By unanimous vote of the Club, Mr. Grin- 
nell was re-elected Editor of Tiie Condor, 
and Messrs. Chambers and Law as Busi- 
ness Managers. 
The business of the evening having been 
disposed of, Mr. Mailliard presented a very 
interesting account of the “Gulls at the Pan- 
ama-Pacific International Exposition”, illus- 
trated by skins and by a large number of 
lantern slides, which showed the increasing- 
tameness of the different species, and their 
surprising attitudes as caught by the cam- 
era. 
Dr. Bade reported that two Mockingbirds 
had been seen repeatedly during the winter 
in Berkeley. Adjourned.— Amelia S. Allen, 
Secretary.
