have what they call a Golden Oriole, which is very much like the Baltimore 

 Oriole. One sees it only in the jungle. The place where I took these notes is- 

 4,150 feet above sea-level, 6° north, on a tea estate in the province of Uva.

A Foster-mother 



Little Frances Mulholland, of Cleveland, New York, last spring found in 

 her father's garden a young bird which had either been lost or abandoned by 

 its parents. She could not see it suffer, so she became its foster-mother and care- 

 fully reared it, and still has the bird in her possession, having received special 

 permission from the Game Commissioner of the state to keep it. The bird proved 

 to be a Robin, and when it acquired its full plumage, it was pure white, instead 

 of the ordinary red and brown of a Robin; the bird also has pink eyes. 



Frances writes: " I send you a picture of myself, taken with my White Robin. 

 It is now very tame and quite a large bird. Papa says that if you can find a better 

 home for the Robin than 



it has here, we will be ^, ^^^' 



pleased to let it go, for, if 

 it should die, we would 

 think we were to blame. "

A Junior Member 



" Please find en- 

 closed draft for five dol- 

 lars. I wish to join the 

 National Association of 

 Audubon Societies. I 

 have wished to join for 

 nearly two years, but 

 have not had the money. 



I am eleven years of 

 age, and am very much 

 interested in the work the 

 Association is doing. I 

 learned of the Associa- 

 tion from Bird - Lore, 

 which I have taken for 

 two years. We have ver}- 

 many species of birds in 

 Wisconsin." (Signed)
