PROCEEDINGS OF THE EIGHTIETH STATED MEETING

OF THE AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGISTS' UNION

LAWRENCE H. WALKINSHAW• SECRETARY

T•E Eightieth Stated Meeting of The American Ornithologists' Union was held from 20 to 24 August 1962, at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah. Business sessions were held on 20 August; papers sessions on 21, 22 (in the morning), and 23 August; and field trips on 22 (in the afternoon) and on 24 August. Host organizations were the University of Utah and the Utah Audubon Society.

BUSINESS SESSIONS

On 20 August, the Council met throughout most of the day, the Fellows met late in the afternoon, and the Fellows together with the Elective Mem- bers met in the evening. The Council held a second meeting on the morning of 23 August.

1963 meeting. The Eighty-first Stated Meeting will be held from 12 to 17 August 1963, at Gainesville, Florida, by invitation of the University of Florida as the host organization. Consideration is being given to Lawrence, Kansas, for the 1964 meeting.

Awards. The Brewster Memorial Award, by action of the Council, was made to Dr. Albert Wolfson, of Northwestern University, Evanston, Illi- nois, "for his studies of the underlying factors that may influence or control the annual life cycle in birds, in particular those that concern migration and reproduction." The citation continues: "His investigations have centered especially on the physiological effects caused in the individual bird by changes in the amount of darkness and light during the 24-hour period that constitutes the solar day. The continuing series of publications that outline his findings, among the most important in this modern and expand- ing field of research, have added measurably to knowledge. His observa- tions continue to open new lines of thought, and to bring increased understanding of the most important periods in the life of the individual bird."

Marcia Brady Tucker Awards, enabling young ornithologists of promise to attend the annual meeting, were given by vote of the officers to Norman L. Ford of The University of Michigan, Elden W. Martin of The University of Illinois, and Bertram G. Murray, Jr., of The University of Michigan.

Membership. The Secretary reported that 3,525 copies of The Auk are being mailed. This figure includes all classes of members, subscriptions, and exchange with other journals. The Secretary's and Treasurer's records showed members by classes, before the elections in this meeting as follows:

Finances. The report of the Treasurer appears in full elsewhere in this issue of The Auk.

A Van Tyne Memorial Award for 1962 was given, by action of the Com- mittee on Research, to David Strohmeyer, graduate student at Iowa State University, for studies of marsh birds.

Cyrus Mark, Chairman of the Board of Investing Trustees, reported that the appraised value of the endowment holdings, as of 31 July 1962, was $177,391,7.6 per cent or $14,590 less than the appraised value on 31 July 1961. During the fiscal year, the stock market, as measured by the Dow- Jones Industrial Averages, declined 15.23 per cent but the stock portion of our portfolio declined only 12.10 per cent. After the market break there was some shifting done in the portfolio to take advantage of relative price changes in high quality securities. Assets are divided now 36.7 per cent in bonds and 63.3 per cent in stocks.

Editorial matters. James R. King, Associate Editor, reported for Donald S. Farner, Editor, who was unable to be present. The change of printers of The Auk to Allen Press has aided greatly in getting the publication out on time. Three numbers of Volume 79 have appeared thus far this year, and the fourth is in press. Volume 79 will be the largest produced by this editorial staff and it will include two colored plates. Dr. Farner resigned as Editor of The Auk. Robert M. Mengel, of The University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, was elected the new Editor.

Ralph S. Palmer, the Editor of Tl•e ]•andbook o! Nort]• American birds, stated that Volume I (Loons through Flamingos) was published on 2 May 1962, and that Volume II might be issued next year. Volume I can be procured from the Yale University Press, New Haven, Connecticut.

Robert W. Storer, Editor of the new monograph series, also reported. Two monographs have been accepted for publication and probably will be published before the next meeting. The first will be a full distributional report on the birds of British Honduras by Stephen M. Russell. The second

April ] WAI, IClNSI•AW, Eightieth Stated Meeting o] A.O.U. 177 1963

will be a study of the functional anatomy of the Anhinga and the Double- crested Cormorant by Oscar Owre.

The launching of the publication of the monograph series was made possible by the gift from Marcia B. Tucker and the Marcia B. Tucker Foundation of a total of $15,000 during 1962. The Foundation has also pledged to give the Union $5,000 annually to support the new monograph series.

Reporting for the Special Committee to Study Problems Relating to the Next A.O.U. Check-list, Alden H. Miller made the following recommenda- tions:

1. There should be another edition of the check-list of North American

birds, reflecting revisions, consolidations, and updating. 2. The next edition, the 6th, should have a target date of publication in

1972, or 15 years following the publication of the 5th edition. 3. Emphasis should be on improvement in familial and generic

groupings. 4. The area covered should be based on biogeographic considerations

and be truly representative of North America. Accordingly the area to be covered is North America north from the Isthmus of Tehuante-

pec. Thus included are arctic North America, Canada, the continen- tal United States and most of Mexico, and also Greenland and Bermuda. Excluded are Hawaii, the West Indies, Central America, and a small part of southern Mexico.

During the year the Committee on Biography learned of the death of two Fellows Emeriti, three Corresponding Fellows, and one Elective Mem- ber:

William Beebe, Fellow Emeritus George Christoffel Alexander Junge, Corresponding Fellow Seth L. Low, Elective Member W. L. McAtee, Fellow Emeritus Tokutaro Momiyama, Corresponding Fellow R. K. Verheyen, Corresponding Fellow

Pierce Brodkorb, Chairman of the Committee on Student Awards, re- ported by letter that the committee named 50 students to receive The Auk free of charge for one year.

S. Charles Kendeigh, Chairman of the Committee on Research, presented the committee report, which appears on page 190.

Clarence Cottam, Chairman of the Committee on Bird Protection, pre- sented a summary of his report, which will appear in full in The Auk.

1. Whereas, Mrs. Marcia Brady Tucker has shown continuous interest over many years in the welfare and progress of The American Ornitholo- gists' Union as evident in her membership as a Patron, and

Whereas, She has shown interest in the encouragement and training of worthy younger members of the Union by enabling them to attend the annual meetings, and

Whereas, She has most recently made possible the initiation of a new series of monograph publications of The American Ornithologists' Union by a munificent financial subsidy, which in its potential represents the largest such gift ever made to the Union,

ThereJore, Be It Resolved, That The American Ornithologists' Union, assembled in formal business session, expresses by a rising vote its unani- mous appreciation of her generous and continuing aid to ornithology.

2. Whereas, The University of Utah has been a most excellent host in providing facilities for meetings, living accommodations, and friendly sociability on one of the most beautiful and scenic campuses of the world, and

Whereas, Trips of outstanding interest were arranged both inside of Salt Lake City and in the surrounding country,

ThereJore, Be It Resolved, That The American Ornithologists' Union expresses its gratitude to the University of Utah, to the Utah Audubon Society, and especially to the Local Comrnittee on Arrangements under the able chairmanship of William H. Behle.
