 in southern Ohio, where the Baum village 

 site, explored by W. C. Mills, alone yielded

EDITORIAL NOTE. 



Owing to a variety of causes it has been 

 impossible to start the new volume of the 

 Canadian Field-Naturalist at the begin- 

 ning of the calendar year. The last num- 

 ber of Volume XXXIV was nearly five 

 months overdue on account of the difficulty 

 the publishers experienced with their paper 

 supply. Our new publishers promise us 

 steady production, so, if our numerous con- 

 tributors will co-operate by furnishing 

 clean type-written material, the editor 

 hopes to overtake his arrears and finish up 

 the present volume at the proper time. 



Subscribers to the magazine Avill wel- 

 come a brief statement of the financial dif- 

 ficulties with which the club has to con- 



tend. The total number of subscribers on 

 the books at the end of 1920 was 560. The 

 annual subscription, formerly $1, was 

 raised to $1.50 to meet the increased cost 

 of publication ; but there were 403 sub- 

 scriptions overdue, representing an amount 

 of $564. The actual cost of publication is 

 slightly greater than the amount obtained 

 from subscriptions if every member pays 

 his dues, the balance being made up from 

 advertisements and the sale of extra copies. 

 The finances of the club are therefore very 

 restricted, and every member is urgently 

 requested to assi.st the treasurer by send- 

 ing in his subscription as soon as it falls 

 due. D. J.
