Fourth International Ornithological Congress,
London, June 12th to 17th, 1905

Sir,
The Organising Committee has the honour to invite you to attend the Fourth International Ornithological Congress, which will be held in London this year, under the presidency of Dr. R. Bowdler Sharpe, of the British Museum (Natural History), as was decided during the last Congress at Paris in 1900.

The Congress will be held from the 12th to 17th of June, inclusive, and arrangements are being made for Excursions during the following week.

The price of Subscription for Membership has been fixed at 1 pound (= 20 Mks. = 25 frs.), and all Members will receive a copy of the published proceedings of the Congress. Ladies may be admitted as Members on the same terms, or they may participate in all the privileges of Membership, but without receiving the printed report, on payment of 10s. (= 10 Mks. = 12 frs. 50 cents.).

Subscriptions should be sent to the Treasurer (Mr. C. E. Fagan, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London, S.W.), or they may be paid at the commencement of the Congress, but in the latter case you are requested to send notice of your intention to be present to one of the Secretaries.

Members intending to read papers are requested to communicate particulars of the same as soon as possible to one of the Secretaries.

 

 

 

 

The Meetings will be divided into General Meetings and Meetings of Sections.
The Sections will be as follows:–

(I.) Systematic Ornithology, Geographical Distribution, Anatomy and Palæontology;
(II.) Migration;
(III.) Biology, Nidification, Oology;
(IV.) Economic Ornithology and Bird Protection;
(V.) Aviculture.

It is expected that many interesting papers on these various subjects will be forthcoming.

Yours faithfully,
Ernst J. O. Hartert,
J. Lewis Bonhote
(Joint Secretaries.)
