Ned Dearborn, with his wife and daughter, left their home in Sacket Harbor, N. Y., early in June, for a motor trip to the Pacific Coast. A brief note written July 15, at Carlsbad, N. M., "where the water in the rain barrel fell last summer," assured the Secretary that up to that point the trip had been entirely successful.

Warden and his wife spent a few weeks after Commencement visiting friends in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. On July 7 they called on the Secretary, just as they were starting for their home in Great Falls, Montana.

Frost was unable to attend the reunion because of the marriage of his son Karl, on June 16, at Swampscott, Mass., to Miss Marion Oakes Brown.

Wheat also called on the Secretary in August. He and his wife were in Marblehead for the month with their daughter, who lives in this old city by the sea.

" Bartlett returned to Boston about October 1 after an absence of nearly six months. Leaving home in April, he went direct to the Mediterranean, and made an automobile trip in Algeria and Tunis, with a side trip by camel caravan into the Sahara desert. The summer months were spent in Europe. He was with the American Bar Association in London for their annual meeting in August.

The following is quoted from the October bulletin of the Massachusetts Audubon Society :

"Through the courtesy of P. M. Jenness, our Service Library is enriched by a most interesting pamphlet entitled 'Birds of Durham and Vicinity,' otherwise the birds of southeastern New Hampshire. This is a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Science by Ned Dearborn, who took the degree at Durham in 1902. Mr. Dearborn is well known to bird students through his subsequent scientific work on the United States Biological Survey. One of his many pamphlets, Farmers' Bulletin 609 of the United States Department of Agriculture, entitled 'Birdhouses and How to Build Them,' is very much in demand among bird students. It is to be had free of charge at the office of the Audubon Society."
