r NOTICES TO MEMBERS. 



RKGRRT that owing to an nnavoiclal)le delay we are without 

 the coloured plate which should have accompanied this 



issue. It will appear next month instead. In the new 

 Volume, commencing in March, it is hoped to increase the 

 number of coloured plates. 



With, this issue of Bird Notes each member should 

 receive a voting paper for the election, and an envelope in 

 which to forward it to the vScrutineer. If any members should 

 fail to receive this voting paper will they please apply to me 

 for one at once ? 



The vScrutineer is Mr. L. W. Horton, Longfield, Bescot, 

 near Walsall, and he must receive the votes before the 5th of 

 February. The paper imisl be signed. 



I have, at the special request of the Council, consented to 

 be re-elected to the office of Secretary, on the understanding 

 that I sliall ])e forthwith relieved of all responsibility for the 

 publishing aiul distribution of Bird NoTKS, and that another 

 Secretary be appointed, as soon as possible, who will under- 

 take the General Secretarvship of the Club, and leave me 

 simply the PMitorsliip of Bird Notes. So far no member 

 willing to accept the General vSecretaryship has come forward, 

 and for the present I must continue to be both General and 

 Editorial Secretary. I am very anxious to be relieved of the 

 General vSecretaryship, and should feel most grateful to any 

 member who would undertake the office. Mr. Townsend, who 

 has so ably filled the office of Exhibitional vSecretary during 

 the past year, is also standing for re-election. 



Mr. C. H. C. PengeIvI.ey has kindlv undertaken to assist 

 me for a time with the vSecretarial work.
