The Wilson Ornithological Chapter REPORT OF THE OFFICERS FOR 1893. President’s Report. Pursuant to a requirement of the Constitu- MOM. contmined il Art. PV- Sec. Il Clause. 2: I make my last annual report as President. On Jan. 26, Vol. I, of the Journal was is- sued. It contained the new Constitution adopted late in 1892, Reports of Treasurer, Judge of Election, President, President’s Ad- dress, Scheme of Work under Frank L. Burns as a special Chairman of the Ological Committee; a note from the new Secretary, 2 and the general work on the Warblers under the direction. of the President.. A list “of members was appended. During March accusations preferred against two of our active members were circulated, and votes called for, which resulted in their dismissai. : June 12, Vol. II, of the Journal was issued, in which two corrections to the Constitution appeared, together with a notice of the report on the Owls, and other matter of general in- terest. In this. connection allow me to aad _ that the preparation of the report on the Owls was being especially pushed during April and the early part of May. During July, August and September efforts were being made looking toward an _ official organ, which finally resulted in a vote of the Executive Council” accepting ~an offer” made by Mr. Wm. B. Caulk for space in his pro- posed publication, “The Bird.” During October nominations were canvass- ed, a Judge of Elections appointed, and elec- tions gotten under way. On Nov. 7, a special bulletin relating to the elections, also containing other notes, was issued; and on Dec. 30, another making an announcement of the results of election, with a few notes of general interest. Naturally, a number of things were done to which no definite dates could be assigned. Before the end of the previous year it be- came only too apparent that we were unable to carry the Quarterly; hence the new year saw a change in our methods of publication, looking toward greater economy. With the issue of the two Journals our actual need of any such publication for the rest of the year ceased: Therefore; no further Journals ap- peared. | It was not made generally known that the last issue of the Quarterly plunged us into debt, because it was never known exactly what our liabilities were. This debt at first amounted to $25.00, but sales of copies of the papers, and the income from arrearages very materially reduced it until at the time of the 1893 election of officers for the present year, it was but a little over $10.00. I am happy to announce that at this writing, there is a_ bal- ance left in the treasury after cancelling this debt. lesser a cheat dealnor pleasure that) I announce the fact that never before has there been shown such a keen interest in the work from all of our members. We have lost some members, but they were not of the sort that we need. Like the close of this year each year has seen a sifting and culling out of those 4 who were not with us to work.

' So many things have occurred in the past year to hinder the progress of the Chapter, that a very favorable report can hardly be ex- pected. Outside of the three reports on the Owls, the Warblers, and the Nesting of the Crow, very little Ornithological work hes been done. The Owl report was published in “Popular Science News,’ occupying about two pages, and work on the other reports, directed by Messrs. Jones and Burns, has stead- ily progressed. It is expected that these lat- ter reports will soon be issued in pamphlet form. A lack of funds has prevented the of- ficers from carrying out much that was plan- med tor tne Chapter, set with “ally its) draw- backs. “mote Smiempers were added “to the Chapter in 1893 than during any other year in its history. On Jan. Ist, thirty-nine~ Ac- tive members were admitted, again in April, twenty-eight Active and four Henorary mem- bers were added, and at various times during the vear, fifteen Associate members have joined. The ranks of the Active members— limited to one hundred—are neariv full, and it is expected that the first half of this year will find every place taken. Very respectfully, WaitARp IN Crore: President’s Address.. Fellow Members—At the beginning of an- other year in the history of our Chapter, it may be well to pause for a survey of the past as well as to plan for the future. Those not conversant with the affairs of the Chapter cannot understand why so little was done in 1893. But the matter is easily explained. When it was proposed, in 1892, to issue the Quarterly, the scheme was submitted to the Chapter, and only two votes against it were received. The publication was accordingly begun, but the expense was so great, that the second number plunged us deep in debt; since then it has taken the bulk of our funds to settle this debt, and the final payment has only just been made. The prospects for the present year are very encouraging. We have a greater number of members than ever be- fore, and all are capable of doing excellent work in our chosen science; the revenues of the Chapter for this year, as yet untouched, will enable us to publish much more than we have in any year of the past; and the only thing necessary to make this a most success- ful year, is the active interest of every mem- ber. And every member can help. No one is so circumscribed that he cannot learn some- thing new in ornithology. It is safe to say that there is no bird, in whose life-history 9 every fact is well known. Only the few can make the great discoveries; but all of us can make many minor ones. Then study closely’ the common birds. You will be surprised at the many interesting facts to be learned: This year we purpose issuing numerous Bu!- letins for the publication of these facts, and every member is earnestly requested to report frequently. The study of special groups will go on as before, and we shall be glad to hear from any who wish to study new groups. The election of active members in April should Hom we forgotten. It .is2 probable that. this election will fill all the places) in the Active list. Those who have friends that desire to join should propose their names at once. Thanking you for the honor of an election to the presidency, I remain, very truly yours, WILLARD N. CLUTE. From the New Secretary. It is with pleasure that I take this opportu- nity of thanking you for the honor you have bestowed on me. You could easily have found a man better qualified for the responsible po- sition of secretary, but you would have con- siderable difficulty in finding one who is more in love with the chapter, or who will do more to advance its interests. The present 10 outlook is a very bright one. Under the able guidance of President Clute, all that is requir- ed to make this the banner year of the Chap- ter is for the members to bestir themselves. It is impossible for the officers to do it all. From so large a membership, a great many valuable original reports should be received. This year a series of bulletins will be issued. The number of these bulletins will depend on the number and extent of the notes and reports sent in. It will require money to issue the bulletins, but if the members will be prompt in sending in their dues there will be no lack of funds. Let us unitedly work for the im- provement of our organization and the ad- vancement of our beloved science. Yours truly, Witiiam B. CaAunk. Facts About the Chapter. The Wilson Chapter was the pioneer socie- ty for studying Ornithology by correspon- dence. It is the only corresponding Chapter in the Agassiz Association devoted to this science, and until very recently was the only society in America studying birds in this way. Although over five years old it has never held a meeting, all the work being done by correspondence. During this time it has 11 had seven different official organs, and in ad- dition to a great deal of miscellaneous matter has published detailed reports on the Thrush- es, Owls and Sparrows. Two other reports are nearly ready and others will soon be be- gun. At present there are a hundred mem- bers in the Chapter, representing twenty- eight states and Canada. What to Study. The attention of every member is called to the following paragraph taken from a recent and well-known work on Ornithology: “The present generation of working Orni- thologists have been too busy in hunting up new species and in variety-making to study the habits of birds with equal care and dil- igence, and it is to Wilson and Audubon and Nuttall that we are chiefly indebted even at this day for what we know of bird-life. I must not, however, be understood as imply- ing that no additions have been made to this branch of knowledge, nor as undervaluing the importance of recemt observations. But the field is large; and in comparison with the work accomplished by the older writers, and with that which is still unknown, the recent acquisitions must be termed slight.” All this shows how much work of real 12 value there is yet to be done in this branch of Ornithology, and that, too, in the very field in which our chapter is working. How many new facts shall we find out and place on record this year? important. The series of Bulletins to be issued is in- tended to keep members informed of the do- ings of the Chapter. Members are scarcely to be blamed if they lose interest in a society that they hear from only semi-occasionally. This year we hope it will be. otherwise; but how can we publish the news if you do not send it to us? The President and Secre- tary will always be glad to hear from mem- bers. When you take a rare set of eggs, or identify a new bird, or when you learn any fact in Ornithology, let us know about it. Binghamton, N. Y., May,~ 1894. Bulletin No. 2. The Wilson Ornithological Chapter President—WILLaRD N. CLUTE, Binghamton, N. Y. Vice-President—REUBEN M. STRONG, Oberlin, Ohio. Secretary—WILLIAM B. CAULK, Terre Haute, Ind. Treasurer—LyNnps JONES, Oberlin, Ohio. The Crow Report. In’ regard to the Crows Report, Mr. Frank Po tinnicewhitess ) Ube titel on the) heport will probably be ‘The American Crow with Special Reference to its Nest and Eggs. The data most desired at present are notes on 2 such subjects as number of days constructing the nest; time from completion of the nest to depositing the first egg; length of time de- positing full clutch; time of incubation; of the young in the nest- Much of the ma- terial on hand relating to the maximum, minimum and average measurements of eggs; variation; early sets; late sets; second sets; number in a set, etc., has been tabulated and nearly a thousand eggs have been examined.” Further information on any of the above points will be gladly received and should be addressed to Mr. Frank—L. Burns, Berwyn, Pa. The report will doubtless appear soon after the spring notes are in and full credit will be given to each contributor. The Warbler Report. Work on the warbler notes is slowly pro- eressing. The mass of notes on hand makes the preliminary work of careful classification slow. But the notes are of a high character and promise somle very interesting develop- ments. Where is still need of careful notes from the South and West particularly. Any additional notes on nests, nesting, and de- scriptions of eggs, and migrations, will be a welcome addition—Lynps Jones, Oberlin, Ohio. 3 Our Official Organs. Since its beginning our Chapter has had many official organs. The first was one of eight pages hardly larger than those of this BULLETIN... It was called the “Curlew.” and was soon given up for a large magazine. This was the “Ornithologist’s and Oologist’s Semi- Annual,” an illustrated fifty-page octavo that ran through two volumes. A _ third volume was printed under the name of the “Semi- Annual’ and then the magazine suspended publication, The “Wilson Qtuarterly” fol- lowed the “Semi-Annual” and two numbers were issued of about fifty pages each. Our last; oficial onsan, 7 Vhe Journal,” contained twenty-four pages in its two numbers. These publications will always be of interest to members of the Chapter and in time will be- come quite valuable. No member should be without a complete file. Each number con- tains much that is of interest to Ornitholo- gists, in addition to the matter relating to tie Chapter, = Diese) macazines are dast) be- coming scarce and already the “Curlew” is Olle Of print, “Av present there sare only nine nollie seis or the, others leit) Whey “contam nearly four hundred pages, and cost, when published, two dollars. In order to turn these back numbers into cash, a complete set is of- 4 fered for fifty cents, to the first nine members who apply. To others the price is one dol- lar. To the first five who purchase sets will be given a file of the “Bay State Oologist,” the precursor of the “Ornithologist’s and Oologist’s Semi-Annual.’ © When the nine sets are gone, a few sets minus the first num ber, can be supplied at fifty cents each.-. Those who wish to have their file of ornithological publications complete should not neglect this opportunity. Address all correspondence on this subject to Mr. Lynps Jones, Oberlin, Ohio. | Election of New Members.

Dickinson of Tarpon Springs, Fla., writes: “I found three sets of Ground Dove, Oct. (9th, and’ one on the 22d of "the same month. Davie speaks of that date as being unusual. I have come to the conclu- sion that they breed about that time.” We should be very glad to receive original obser- vations similar to this from) every member in the Chapter. Now that another season has begun, it is hoped every one will have some item to contribute. The New List of Members. The next BULLETIN published by the Chap- ter will contain a list of all members in good standing. Those who have not yet paid their dues are earnestly requested to do so at once so that their names may be enrolled with the others. . The Chapter is at last free from debt and much more can now be accomplished than ever before. It should be remembered that Active members six months in arrears for dues cannot vote, hold office, or receive the Chapter publications, and are liable to suspension. Information Wanted. The forty-second parallel of North Lati- tude seems to be the limit of the Black Snow- bird’s northern range in winter. In _ some parts of the country the birds breed south of this line, and it is not uncommon for others to winter north of it. It would be interesting to know what it is that determines whether the birds shall stay in a particular place or not, and information upon the subject is re- quested with the idea of getting a definite knowledge of these causes. One case is on record of the Snowbird’s breeding in south- ern New York and in certain parts of north- ern Pennsylvania the birds are common in ri summer. Since they love a cool retreat in which to breed it will be correckly inferred that the latter locality is the higher of the two; yet in winter when the birds flee south to escape the cold, they are still found plenti- fully in the Pennsylvania locality while they are absent from the other. Members living within a hundred and fifty miles of the forty- second parallel are requested to aid in this in- vestigation, by sending answers to one or all of the following questions: What is your Inntude: a NVihat is jyour)altiuder) Woes. the Snowbird winter in your locality? Is is pres- ent in both mild and severe winters? Is it a stimmer resident in your vicinity? If you are north of the forty-second parallel, to what do you attribute its presence in winter—food- supply, altitude, plentiful shelter, the near- ness of large bodies of water, a river-valley extending north and south, etc. Ili near this parallel and the birds do not winter, to what do you attribute their absence? If south of this parallel, and the birds breed, to what do you attribute the fact? In this investigation every member in the territory covered can help, for all know the Juncos. Even if you can answer but one of the above questions it will add to the results. A full report of the matter will be published and everyone who contributes will be given due credit. Send all notes relating to the subject to Willard N. Clute, Binghamton, N. Y. Notes. Several times- lately the robin has been heard singing his full song sotto voce. A\l- though very near the observer the bird sound- ed as if he was a great distance away. Ex- cept for the fact that the bird was_ singing “to himself’. the song did not differ from the ordinary one. Has any other member noticed this? Among the new members proposed at this election will be noticed the name of one As- sociate member who wishes to become an Active, and also the name of an old Active member who had dropped out of the Chap- ter, but now wishes to join again. This is an indication that our affairs are looking up. Binghamton, N. Y., February, 1894. Bulletin No. 3. The Wilson Ornithological Chapter. President’s Address, It is with deep regret that I have learned of the resignation of President Clute, as printed on another page, and with some solicitude that I take up the duties he has so faithfully per- formed. Only a few weeks remain before the annual election of officers, but circumstances make it imperative that some action with reference to the welfare of the society be taken at once. As president of the Wilson Ornithological Chapter) itis my desire to do all that les in my power towards the success of our society and act in accordance with the wishes of the members. What is the object of our organization and of what value is it to its members? Is it not that we may keep in touch with the beautiful science of ornithology and with those who study it? Our association should give us inspiration and stimulus for systematic inves- tigation. Doubtless there are some who have not seen any good coming to themselves as members of the chapter, but those who have worked and entered into’ the spirit of the society do not regret what their membership has cost them. As one of the founders of the chapter, I have followed its career with inter- est. It has been a source of inspiration at times, when enthusiasm was inclined to be low, and it has helped to counteract the influ- ence of countless distractions. It is my wish that the chapter may extend its influence more generally among its members. If it shall be my fortune to have helped to awaken the interest of those whose enthusiasm has been at a low ebb and to bring before them the great value of active participation in the work of the society, I shall feel that my work has been richly rewarded and that the success of our chapter is. assured. Every :day 1° wmear. irom members wishing the society success and offer- ing suggestions which are of the greatest value to one in my position. The chapter is now out of debt and is thus relieved of the heavy burden it has carried for some months. It will be our policy in the future to avoid contracting debts and to make the receipts cover all expenses. I would recommend that some good journal of ornithology be secured as an official organ. Steps towards this end have already been taken. Such terms ought to be secured as would enable us to make the dues amount to very little above the subscription price of the magazine. The sentiment of the members upon this subject is solicited. We have read the reports on the Fringillidae Getic. committee wider Mier ley acs omess ima the Wilson Quarterly, with great interest and have found the information given of the great- est wale for teference,” “A comnumlitce, mmeer Mr. Frank Burns has been preparing for sev- eral years a very careful report on the Ameri- can Crow, which promises to be especially valuable to ornithologists. This is now ready and will be published as soon as the funds in the treasury will warrant. On another page will be found statements by Mr. Jones con- cerning Warblers and new work planned. It is my purpose to appoint chairmen of several committeees on special investigation in orni- thology as soon as possible. It is to be hoped that there will be great in- terest in these special lines of work and that the members will prepare reports for the vari- ous committees: Whe value’ of these reports of committees depends on how many con- tribute to them. Each member should feel it his duty to try to extend the membership so that as many localities may be represented as possible. The success, yes, the existence of the chapter in the future demands active and aggressive work by its members. There is no virtue in idly waiting to see what others will accomplish. If we wish to succeed we must 4 bestir ourselves and join the ranks of those who are making progress that we may gain their co-operation and sympathy in our work; receive inspiration and be stimulated to more active work; and, finally, have our views broadened and toned by those whose achieve- ments are greater than ours.

Very truly yours, WiIECARD Ns CuuUmaEsenesue Mr. Reuben M. Strong has accepted the office of president and his letter of acceptance, found on another page under the heading of ; President's”. Address,” should be) carerully read by all. Preliminary Report on the Warblers. The arrangement of notes contributed by twenty-eight persons is well under way. Most of the twenty-eight reports are unusually full, and furnish material for valuable comparisons. Forty-seven species have been ieported upon, nine of which are very rare, or restricted lo- Cally so, that tew lave tound then: tle remaining thirty-eight are found in from eight to twenty-five “reports. The ranges of two species have been ‘extended beyond that here- tofore known to ornithologists, and the breed- ing range of two others extended locally. Facts not before known relating to nesting and breeding habits have been brought to light. Notes on the dates of migration of all, whether transients or breeders; dates of nest- ing; exact period of song; and exact period of moulting are especially desired, and will be in time to insert in the final report if sent during August. Any notes will be very acceptable, especially from those in the Mississippi Valley and the far; West. Every contributor will receive one copy of the final report gratis. Extra copies will be furnished at 10 cents cach to all who cive notice of the niumber wanted. Send all notes to Lynds Jones, Oberlin, O. Information Wanted From all who are acquainted with the follow- ing three birds: Dickcissel (Spiza Americana) and Grasshopper and MHenslow’s Sparrows (Ammodramus savannarum passerinus) and ‘A. henslown). It is well known that Dickcissel 1s con- stantly changing his range, and that the two sparrows are rather local in their distribution, often changing their summer abodes from year, to. year. It shas been noticed] aim samrc localities that these three birds-are much more numerous this season than ever before, while other species seem to be in normal numbers. Have you noticed anything unusual about them, and if so can you account for it in any way? Word on this subject is especially de- sired from those studying in New York, Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. This work applies to all, whether you know any of the birds or not. If you do not, drop a card saying so, that we may determine as nearly as possible the range of these birds for 1894. Send all notes to Lynds Jones, Oberlin, O. Notes. A Ropin’s Nrst.—I have a robin’s nest that differs in construction from those mentioned by the Oological Committee in their report, and from Oliver Davie’s. This nest is com- 7 posed first of oak leaves and wool, then grass and clover stems, next with a layer of manure instead of mud, as is generally the case, and lastly the regulation lining of small roots. ‘This nest was taken July 8th. There was no scarcity of mud when the nest was built. A Hunery Jay.—On July 5th I found a Blue Jay eating a young Bluebird nearly full grown. i had.eaten the head, neck and viscera. On first discovering the Blue Jay I scared it away and threw what remained of the victim under some bushes. In a short time I returned that way and found the Jay eating the Bluebird.
