dation of the accessions 
The Delaware Valley Ornithological Club anti the Pennsylvania 
Audubon Society have continued to hold their meetings at the

The Conservator would express his indebtedness to Air. J. A. G. 
Rehn, who has catalogued all of the accessions, and to Messrs. 
Daniel J. Fay and Delos E. Culver, who have given valuable aid

birds. To Mr. David McCadden, our taxidermist, is due much 
of the success in the improvement of the local collection.
