The annual financial report of the business man- agers, covering the year 1914, was read and accepted. This ended the business before the meeting. Mr. R. Magoon Barnes talked at some length, and most entertainingly, on certain phases of the work of keeping wild ducks, geese and swans in captivity, in which he is an acknowledged authority. His com- ments upon the Trumpeter Swan in partic- ular brought home to those present many facts regarding this rare and little known bird which most of us either did not know or imperfectly realized. Mr. Fred Gran- ville, recently returned from a trip to north- ern Alaska and Siberia, had on exhibition three skins of the Ross Rosy Gull (Rhodos- tethia rosea), adults and iramatures, and two adults of the Spoon-billed Sandpiper (Eury- norhynchus pygmeus), together with photo- graphs of other species of birds, nests and eggs. Dr. L. H. Miller exhibited an inter- esting series of bird photographs, mostly of exotic species; and Mr. Hegner showed pic- tures of winter scenes in some of the more remote parts of the San Gabriel Mountains. Mr. J. E. Law displayed a selection of spe- cimens exhibiting most of the plumages of the Pacific species of Murres, Auklets, and Murrelets. Adjourned.--H. S. SwTrr, Secretary.
