. Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club. . i i , , \^Qal[Bul/. 197S: 98(1)] Bulletin of the BRITISH ORNITHOLOGISTS' CLUB Vol. 98 No. 1 Published: 20 March 1978 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE FOR 1977 During 1977 inflation continued at a high rate with postage charges for the Bulletin and printing charges both rising 11%. The price of dinners rose similarly. Meetings were held in January and July at the Goat Tavern, in May, September and November at Imperial College and in March, when we invited the International Council for Bird Preservation (British Section) to join us, at the British Museum (Natural History). Attendance at meetings (counting, in respect of the March meeting, only club members and their guests) totalled 179, a larger number than in either of the two preceding years. Leaflets with covering letters were sent to about 5 00 universities, museums and other scientific institutions in the past year to promote the circulation of the Bulletin. The response in new Bulletin subscriptions was not great, although it also brought in some new members, but it caused a very satis- factory increase in orders for back-numbers. The policy of reprinting back- numbers as necessary to maintain a stock of all numbers from 1952 (Vol. 72) to date has been continued. Stocks are also held of many earlier issues and details will gladly be supplied on request. There were 34 new members in 1977 but two members resigned and the membership of one was terminated under Rule (4). The Committee records with deep regret the death of Sir Landsborough Thomson , , , (Hon. Secretary 1935—1938, Chairman 1938-1943). There were 13 new Bulletin subscribers in the year. The audited accounts for 1977, which are not yet available, will be tabled at the Annual General Meeting and published in a later number of the : Bulletin. It is of interest to note that in the last 25 years circulation of the Bulletin has increased whilst attendances at meetings have fallen. In 1952
