 Wild Birds,' we have sold 293 copies, at cost. 



We have paid for 2,036 subscriptions to the magazine "Bird-Lore," 

 thus enabling our members and Junior Secretaries to be the recipients of the 

 iDenefit derived from reading this splendid magazine. 



The public press has continued to show a most genuine interest in the 

 efforts of the Association, and 1,162 different newspaper clippings containing 

 notices of our work have been received in the office. More than twenty report- 

 ers and magazine writers have been furnished information regarding bird 

 life and bird protection, and in a number of instances photographs have also 

 been supplied. 



The financial support of the Association has shown a healthy and continu- 

 ous growth. Fourteen life memberships have been received, and the list of 

 sustaining members has grown from 1,184 to i>35i- The contributors increased 

 from 38 to 73. 



In April, the offices of the Association were removed from our old quarters, 

 141 Broadway, to larger ones at 1974 Broadway, corner of 67th street, where, 

 in the future, we hope to welcome our members and other friends of wild bird 

 and animal protection.
