A new bulletin board has been set up in the reading room, on 

 which may be found lists of the transient and summer bird vis- 

 itants which are now returning north after wintering to the south 

 of us. Each bird is listed to show the month in which it arrives. 

 A blueprint chart of the local breeding birds has been prepared 

 by Mr. F. M. Weston, Jr. and Mr. E. B. Chamberlain. This 

 chart shows the weeks in which eggs of all the breeding birds 

 have been found. There are several birds which are known to 

 breed, the eggs of which have not been discovered. By watch- 

 ing this bulletin board everyone interested in birds may be pre- 

 pared for effective bird study during the next few months.
