The last paper of the morning was
given by Mrs. Nelly Hart Woodwork of
st. Adams upon California bird notes.
It was the most carefully prepared paper
of the entire session and its literary ex-
cellence gave an added charm to an
address full of information and the
results of careful research.
The committee on resolutions present
ed these which were adopted
