period of .arrival and migration. These meetings have been 
devoted to the hearing of various papers on subjects of ornitho¬ 
logical interest and to the discussion and comparison of mem¬ 
bers’ field notes. 
The Peabody Museum of Salem has provided the Club with 
an excellent room for meeting purposes, and has also made 
accessible for use its mounted collection of birds. 
In addition to the scheduled meetings in-doors, the Club 
has held a number of field days and considerable interest has 
been developed by this means. A complete calendar of both 
the in-door and out-door meetings is to be found in this issue. 
The Club’s secretary is engaged in compiling various records 
and observations of interest with the view of publication in 
the future. 
Early in 1919 it became evident that some periodical pub¬ 
lication of the Club’s activities should be made. The present 
Bulletin is the result, and it is intended to follow this number 
by an annual publication which will place in permanent form 
the Club’s history and records.
