A new illus- trated lecture circular has been published and is being sent out. A considerable number of new bird photographs have been made for the Association, and also a number of new film subjects. Among the latter are the following: Large concourses of wild Geese and Swans on the coast of Virginia, taken on a trip for the U. S. Bureau of Biological Survey, in March, 1917; a large Tern colony on an island off the coast of Connecticut; a Duck Hawk feeding its young on a precipice; also a considerable series showing work with wild Ducks, Quail, and small birds using nesting-boxes at Amston. Considerable time and hard work have been given to the establishment and development of the new Bird Experiment Station of the Association at Amston, Conn., mentioned in the last report. The fencing in of the water-fowl pond and swamp and the building of the aquatic house, under supervision of this Department, were completed late last autumn. During the ensuing winter and spring careful search resulted in the acquisition of breeding-stocks of fifteen species of water-fowl, namely, Canvasback, Redhead, Ring-necked Duck, Greater and Lesser Scaups, Black Duck, Wood Duck, wild Mallard, Pintail, Baldpate, Gad wall, Blue-winged and Green-winged Teals, Mandarin Duck,.
