Abstract
THE International Ornithological Congress assembled in London on Monday, June 12, under the presidency of Dr. R. Bowdler Sharpe, and continued in session to the end of the week. The congress was instituted at Vienna in 1887 under the patronage of the Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria. The second congress was held at Buda-Pesth, and the third at Paris in 1901, so that the London congress was the fourth of the series. It was well attended by both British and foreign ornithologists—to the number of rather more than 300. They commenced their work on June 12 by an informal meeting at the Imperial Institute, South Kensington, which was the headquarters of the congress during its session.
