Excerpt from Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club, Vol. 1: Session 1892-3 The British Ornithologists' Club was founded in October, 1892, for the purpose of giving the Members of the British Ornithologists' Union an opportunity for meeting more frequently than the customary once a year. The popularity of the Club has been demonstrated by the fact that, during its first season, its ranks have been joined by 84 Members of the B. O. U. No fewer than 92 communications have been made at the ten Meetings of the B. O. C. which have taken place up to the present time. Twenty-five new or amended names of genera have been proposed, and fifty-eight new species of birds have been described. The Club may therefore be congratulated on the work done under its auspices during its first session. The Committee hope for the continued support of their brethren of the B. O. U., and will be glad to receive additional names for the B. O. Club. They invite further communications, and inasmuch as many of the Members are especially interested in Palaearctic Ornithology, exhibitions of rare European and Asiatic birds, with remarks on their distribution, will be always appreciated.
