Witmer Stone, one of Amer ica's most noted naturalists. Dr. Stone is the curator of the Aca demy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and is quite an authority on ornithology as well as a devoted bird lover. Dr. Moore, president of the Bird Club, first turned the meeting over to the LeConte Society and the minutes of the preceding meeting were read by Secretary ,Teeple after which I )r. Stone was introduced. Dr. Stone began by saying that he came as the representa tive of the National Association of Audubon Societies and that he wished to impress upon his hear ers so that they might impress upon the people of the state the importance of protecting birds, especially in view of the present shortage in food crops. He de clared birds to be by far the most important agent in the destruc tion and suppression of obiox ious insects which cause millions and millions of dollars worth of damage to food and of her crops annually. He chose the nest and fledgelings of birds as his special topic for the night and his talk was illustrated with a large number of charmingly nat uralistie slides. These slides were taken largely from photo graphs which he himself had taken naround Philadelphia, and were of great interest. I)r. Stone first showed a series of nests (it various degrees of architectural development, if su-"h a term night be used. vary ing from the simplest as in that of the tern where the eggs are dep.sited on a hare sand spit, to the very c-mplex nests of the marsh wren and warblers. I-e followed this with picture. of fledgelings of all types, varying from the helpless naked wood pecker young to the active dlown covered woodcock chicks, calling attention to many instances of the most remarkable protective coloring in both young and adult, especially of ground-nesting birds. Dra. Stone also called at tent ion to the f'act that owvls and hawks are vecry valuable birds, destroying immense numbers of mice and large insects, and urged that the wrong impressions ex tant concerning the reputation of these birds be corrected.
