MARCH MEETING.
The Biological Club met in Townshend Hall on the evening of March 4, 1901, the lantern being kindly furnished and operated by Professor Hunt.
The board of editors through its secretary, Mr. Griggs, recommended that the offer of Professor Kellerman to take one-half the numbers of the first volume of the Ohio Naturalist for $125.00 be accepted; and that Professors Schaffner, Osborn and Kellerman be appointed a committee to consider the disposition of exchanges.
The report was unanimously accepted by the club.
Mr. Griggs reported that he and Mr. Tyler had procured a set of two great horned owl’s eggs from an old hawk’s nest in a beech tree north of the city, on March 4th.
The paper of the evening was given by Professor Osborn on “The Naples Zoölogical Station.” The paper was illustrated by lantern and many views of historic places in Europe were given. Naples and the surrounding country with Vesuvius, Pompeii and other points of natural or historic interest were shown in a series of fine views from photographs. The station building with the beautiful grounds surrounding it appeared in several of the views. The speaker dwelt at some length on the opportunities given investigators, the methods of work, equipment in laboratories and library, and the cordiality of the staff in charge, and expressed the hope that many of the students in his hearing might at some future time enjoy the privileges of a sojourn at the station.
Mr. Modesta Quiroga was elected to membership.
Jas. S. Hine, Secretary.
