NOTICES. 



It is hoped that Members and Associates will renieniber to 

 send in photographs of birds and aviaries for consideration by 

 the Magazine Committee, and also their literary contributions. 

 It must not be forgotten that we depend only upon our own 

 people to keep the Magazine going, and as in the future my 

 time will be too much occupied to allow me to contribute as 

 much as hitherto, we shall have to issue smaller numbers un- 

 less more papers are sent in than there are at present. This 

 would be a great pity in face of the improvements we have 

 effected in the form of the Magazine. 



Last year no appeal was made to the members to help in 

 the production of the illustrations, a few members of the 

 Council and Staff taking the expenses not provided for by the 

 members' subscriptions on their own shoulders. Two of the 

 plates indeed were the absolute gift of two of the Council, and 

 the cost of the drawings of all has been defrayed by private 

 generosity. The cost of these plates is very considerable, 

 amounting to several pounds each, and they are of a good deal 

 more value than is represented by what we individually pay for 

 our Magazines. 



It is therefore proposed to open a fund to assist in this en- 

 hancement of the value of Bird Notes, the smallest contribu- 

 tions to which will be welcomed. 



The following sums have already been sent in :
