In Section 5 three papers were read; of these that by 
Herr Dozent B. Diiringen was important, as it treated the 
question of poultry-rearing from a scientific point of view. 
On Saturday the 4th of June, after some discussion, 
it was decided that the next International Ornithological 
Congress should be held at Sarajevo, Bosnia, in 1915, under 
the Presidency of Herr C. Reiser, of the Bosnian National 
Museum of Natural History, of which he is the Keeper. 
On the 30th of May the German Ornithological Society 
arranged a steamboat-excursion from Spandau to the 
Havelsee and Wannsee, and gave an excellent supper at 
the Hotel Burgers Hof opposite the Barbelsberg Park. On 
the 1st of June the city of Berlin gave an entertainment 
at the Rathaus, which was very fully attended. On the 
2nd of June the Berlin Zoological Society offered a lunch 
at the Zoological Gardens to the Members of the Congress, 
and a supper was also given there on the following evening. 
Besides these expeditions others were arranged to the Spree- 
wald, to Baron von Berlepsch’s bird-protection station at 
Schloss Seebach, and to the Kurische Nehrung, under the 
guidance of Dr. Thienemann. Moreover, all Members of 
the Congress were offered free admission to the Zoological 
Gardens during their stay in Berlin. 
It need scarcely be added that the whole proceedings were 
so well carried out that the Fifth International Ornitho¬ 
logical Congress was unanimously pronounced to have been 
a great success.—H. E, D.
