Riassunto

Excerpt from The Avicultural Magazine, 1920, Vol. 11: Being the Journal of the Avicultural Society for the Study of Foreign and British Birds in Freedom and Captivity

The past year has been one of considerable trouble to the Society, and the prospect for next year is not very bright. Late in 1919 Dr. Lovell-keays took over the Secretaryship, but had to resign owing to ill-health, after a few months. His illness proved fatal in May, and the Council take this opportunity of expressing their regret at the loss of so valuable a colleague, and their sincere sympathy with his family. Mr. J. L. Bonhotc, who has now returned to England, has been elected to combine the oilices of Secretary and Treasurer, the late Treasurer, Mr. Ezra, having resigned through pressure of other business. Dr. Graham Renshaw, who had been Editor for some time, resigned in August, and Messrs. Seth-smith and Pocock most kindiy undertook this office at short notice, and their subsequent offer to retain it {or a time was gratefully accepted by the Council, and they were duiv elected. The Society, in common with all similar societies, has been badly crippled by the large increase in the cost of printing, and unless we have an increase in the number of members it Wlll not be possible to carry on without a further addition to the subscription. This the Council hope to avoid. They trust, therefore, that members will assist the Society by canvassing new members. And, if possible, by sending donations, however small, to the General Expenses Fund. This will not only help the Society through its difficulties, but by leading to improvement in the Magazine attract new members, and enable us to regain our pre-war status and standard of work.
