tributed toward the expenses. Much was
to be done and the greatest burden fell
on the president. Many letters were
written, asking for material to exhibit,
and in no instance was it refused. Original
paintings of birds were loaned by Brasher,
Fuertes, and Horsfall, and Dr. A. A.
Allen loaned photographs of 'Insect
Pests and Their Bird Enemies.' The
Museum contributed prints of Audubon's
and Wilson's pictures, and a member
loaned some neat originals. Nesting-
boxes, feeding-devices, cat-traps and bird-
baths were loaned by the Audubon Bird-
Public School sent boxes made by the
scholars. Two long tables were filled with
bird- books by the Museum librarians.
Neatly prepared charts, showing the
principal migration-routes of certain birds
were made. Four charts showed insect-
pests and their bird enemies, and one
showed enemies of birds. One chart that
proved interesting had pictures of 59
species of birds seen from the back windows
of a city house. These charts were
procured from the New York State Educa-
tional Department. The National Asso-
ciation of Audubon Societies gave charts
