The Late Mr. F. J. F. Harrington The Chairman announced with deep regret the death of Mr. F. J. F. Barrington, , , a vice-chairman of the Club from 1943-45. Mr. Barrington has left the Club £1,000, duty free, in his Will. This most handsome legacy has almost doubled the finances of the Club. It is to be treated as capital and will be designated the "Barrington Fund," in order to perpetuate the name of our benefactor. The annual income from the "Barrington Fund" will be approximately £50. Road Casualties in Birds Mr. G. Finnis read a paper on this subject, describing his work to date on an inquiry he is undertaking. An interesting discussion took place and an account will appear in a subsequent Bulletin. An Albino Red-necked Grebe Mr. B. L. Sage exhibited three photographs of an almost completely albinistic Red-necked Grebe, Podiceps grisegena (Boddaert). It was found exhausted in Switzerland in October 1955 and was photographed by Dr. A. SchifTerli, before being released. This bird has been recorded in the Ornithologische Beobachter, vol. 53, pp. 47-8; Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Taylor, Nancy M.
