Abstract
THE sixth International Ornithological Congress was held in Copenhagen on May 24-29, Dr. Ernst Hartert being the president. It should have taken place in Sarajevo in 1915, but, this being impossible, Copenhagen was chosen, where local ornithologists, Herr Lehn Schiöler, Prof. Wesenberg-Lund, and Mr. Bovien, the secretary, made excellent arrangements. The meetings took place in the splendid rooms of the Parliament Building (in the Christiansborg castle), kindly put at the disposal of the Congress by the Danish Government. More than 200 members were announced, but only 164 actually attended. Nearly all European countries were represented, as well as the United States of America, Argentina, Canada, Brazil, Cuba, India and Japan. Next to Denmark, Germany was by far the most strongly represented country, and 18 British members were present.
