NOTICES TO MEMBERS. 



The feeling shown in the recent correspondence has caused the 

 Council to decide on continuing the Magazine, for the current 3 r ear at any 

 rate, in its present bulk. 



If members only fall in with the various suggestions contained in the 

 correspondence in September issue, before the close of the present financial 

 year, the deficit, if any, will only be a small one. 



One of the most important suggestions is that of each member 

 promising to propose a new member before the end of the present financial 

 year; important because of the fact that it would end our only difficulty, 

 viz. finance, and make us financially sound. We commend this matter to 

 the caieful consideration of all. 



Now that the breeding season is over, will members kindly send in 

 their records of Nesting Notes, not merely those which have been crowned 

 with complete success, but also those only partially so; all are valuable 

 and interesting data, and will help to keep "Our Magazine" fresh and 

 interesting. 



We want a LIVE Magazine as representing a LIVE Club; it lies 

 with each individual member if such is to be the case; if left to a few, no 

 matter how energetic and enthusiastic they may be, it cannot last for an 

 indefinite period. But, by the united effort of all, the present steady 

 increase may be more than maintained and the Foreign Bird Club and its 

 Magazine a great and established success. 



We need a peimaiient trophy for competition among exhibiting 

 members, and we shall hope to have a definite proposal re same in our next 

 issue. 



Mr. H. Gray, M.R.C.V.S., has kindly promised to donate his fees from 

 Post mortem direct replies to Illustration Fund.
