The Sixtieth Annual General Meeting of the Club was held at on Wednesday, 16th April, 1952, at the Rembrandt Hotel, Thurloe Place, London, After the Minutes of the last Annual General Meeting held on 18th April, 1951, had been read and passed, the Report and Accounts for the year to 31st December, 1951, were considered. Mr. C. W. Mackworth-Praed raised the question of renewing the donation to the Zoological Record. W. P. C. Tenison, after a spirited indictment of the Committee's action in withholding the donation in 1951, put a resolution that the sum of twenty guineas, being donations at the rate of ten guineas per annum for 1951 and 1952, should be made forthwith. Mr. T. Fisher seconded the motion and Mr. J. D. Macdonald spoke in support. The Honorary Treasurer reminded members that when the decision to withhold the donation to the Zoological Record was taken the finances of the Club were deteriorating alarmingly: expenditure had greatly exceeded revenue for two years and the deficit was increasing; the cost of printing was rising and the attendance at meetings and the membership were declining. Though the financial position had since been improved he warned members that the utmost economy would have to be exercised if the subscription was to be kept at the pre-war figure. He also drew the attention of members to the generosity of the Club's previous donations to the Zoological Record which compared favourably with those of other ornithological bodies. Colonel R. Meinertzhagen pointed out that members of the Club, being members of the British Ornithologists' Union, already sub- scribed to the Record through the Union. Published 14th May, 1952. Price 2/6,.
