records, including 3 specimens. 
Of this total of 32 records, only 2 are for spring, indicating the rarity 
of this species at that season. In the fall, however, the Northern Phalarope 
seems to be an uncommon but fairly regular migrant. Twenty-four of the 
thirty fall dates come between August 14 and September 28, inclusive. The 
earliest date is July 24; the latest is October 22; and the average is Septem- 
ber 11. This species has been recorded in approximately one-half of the 
years since 1950.

The New I.A.S. Officers 
THE JUNE MEETING of the I.A.S. Board of Directors included the annual 
election of officers for the coming fiscal year. First of all, Mrs. Anne Douglas 
Bayless, who has served as Recording Secretary for many years, withdrew 
from officership to await the appearance of a new little Bayless. Husband 
John nobly offered to serve as the new Secretary. (P.S.: August 14 saw 
the arrival of Martha Jane Bayless; mother and daughter are doing well. 
Congratulations!) 
Other changes: Raymond Mostek, after a 14-month European sojourn, 
has been re-elected Vice-President and Conservation Chairman. Floyd Swink, 
well-known field botanist and naturalist of the Cook County Forest Preserve 
District, was elected Vice-President and Education Chairman. LeRoy 
Tunstall, last year’s Conservation Chairman, is now Book Service Chairman. 
Mrs. Walter Huxford, for many years Vice-President and Education Chair- 
man, has departed on an extended tour of Europe. She will be sorely missed, 
as She has been also a perennial co-chairman of the I.A.S. Annual Meetings. 
All of the other I.A.S. officers were re-elected for another term.

Book Display Racks Available 
By LERoy TUNSTALL 
WE HAVE HAD so many inquiries from our affiliated clubs and visitors about 
the wire racks used to display books at the recent Annual Meeting that we 
have made arrangements to provide some for a limited time. These racks 
fold compactly for storage; when open, they are 18” wide by 25” high and 
have 18 sections for books or literature. The sections will accommodate any 
book up to 5%” wide. Because of parcel post size limitations, these racks 
must be shipped express collect. We will be glad to furnish these at $2.25 
plus express charges. Please send your requests to the writer at:
