Pan African Ornithological Congress A SYMPOSIUM HELD BY THE CLUB ON 17TH DECEMBER, 1957 After dinner many of the members of the Club who had attended the Pan African Ornithological Congress in Livingstone in July, gave some account of their activities in Africa.

Miss P. Barclay-Smith spoke first of meeting of the International Committee of Bird Preservation, which took place in Bulawayo before the Livingstone Congress.
