Ornithological Meeting.

A meeting of the bird-lovers was held in Mr. Garrison's room last evening at half past seven. After some discussion, it was decided to form the club for field work, and to hold meetings at intervals of three weeks. At these meetings papers are to be read by different members of the club who have been notified beforehand, and after the reading a general discussion will follow. On the suggestion of Mr. Nolen, '84, it was decided to send in the names of the gentlemen who desired to form the club to the Natural History Society, the whole club to be incorporated as a sub-section of the N. H. Society. This sub-section will then have a curator, chairman, and secretary of its own. Mr. Garrison was elected chairman by a unanimous vote, but it was resolved to defer the election of other officers till the next meeting. It was decided that members should be free to keep what specimens they desired for their private collections, but the society will also form a collection which will be added to that of the N. H. Society. The meeting was successful in every way, starting with sixteen, possibly eighteen, members. Of these, '84 has one, '85 one, '86 one, '87 two, '88 seven; special students two, Lawrence Scientific two. The meeting was earnest and interesting, and good work is to be expected from the new club.
