taken by a fisherman on the Blackfish Bank in 15 fathoms of 

 water and has been preserved for the Museum collection. 



The Bird Guide, published by C. K. Reed, which is 

 used by the Natural History Society as a field hand- 

 book, has been annotated by our honorary curator of 

 birds, Mr. Arthur T. Wayne, to show the status of the 

 birds of our coast region. This book is intended by its 

 author to serve as a guide to all the birds east of the 

 Rocky Mountains, and the value of the annotations his 

 not only in eliminating all the birds not occurring in this 

 region but also in indicating the seasons of the year in 

 which our local birds may be seen and their comparative 

 abundance. Since the annotated copy of this field guide 

 will be of very great service to beginners in bird study 

 the Museum has made arrangements to furnish duplicate 

 copies of each part at $1.00 each. Part I treats the 

 Water and Game Birds; Part II the Land Birds. The 

 price of each part without the annotations is, 50 cents.
