NOTICES TO MEMBERS. 



F there are aii}' members who have paid their subscriptions 

 and yet have not received the coloured plate issued last 

 mouth, I shall be much obliged if they will let me know. 



I have purposely refrained from entering into any 

 explanation, in print, of the circumstances which led up to the 

 dissolution of partnership with the N, B, B. & M. C. in the 

 proprietorship of Bird Notes— hwt the facts are known to, and 

 understood by, the members of our Council who attended the 

 Council meeting at the Crystal Palace in December. I regret 

 that a like reticence has not been observed by the other Club, 

 and that in their Annual Report, recently issued, the Com- 

 mittee of the N. B. B. & M. C. liave thought fit to publish an 

 incorrect and misleading statement of the events which 

 preceded the separation. I do not intend to be drawn into 

 any controversy upon the subject, but feel obliged to tnention 

 it here in order to warn our members against accepting the 

 ex parte statement of our quondam partners as true. 



I can still supply cases for binding Vol. II. of Bird Notes 

 for 1/2 post free. 



Bound copies of Vol. II. are now for sale, price 7/6 to 

 members and associates, and 10/6 to others.
