XTbe jforeujii Birb Club 



NOTICES TO MEMBERS. 



I much regret to announce that Dr. Hopkinson has been 

 compelled to resign his membership of the Council. He leaves 

 Oxford at the end of tliis month, after which his movements 

 will be uncertain for a time, and he v^ill probably go abroad 

 later in the year. But his interest in the Club will continue, 

 wherever he resides— though he may be itnable, through 

 distance, to take an active part in its management. 



If any members, who find that their copies of Bird Notes 

 are damaged in the post, like to send me 6d. in stamps, I will 

 see that their Magazines are despatched with strawboard 

 piotection in future — up to the end of the current volume in 

 February next. The charge of 6d. is necessary to defray the 

 cost of the board and extra postage. 



The Regulations, made by the Magazine Committee, as to 

 the Medals offered for breeding new species, are printed below. 

 Members will please bear in mind that the offer of these 

 Medals is distinct from tlie " Breeding Competition,^' of which 

 particulars appear on the first page of June " Notices to 

 Members." 



Will the members who avail themselves of Dr. Creswell's 

 services for post mor tents, please take note of the fact that Dr. 

 Creswell cannot, under any circumstances, enter into corres- 

 pondence with the forwarders of dead birds, unless the fee of 

 2/6 for a report by post is paid } He has been compelled by 

 pressure of work to make this an invariable rule, and it applies 

 equally to those members with whom he is acquainted as to 

 those who are personally unknown to him. 



Those members who have joined the Club this year, and 

 who desire to have a complete set of Bird Notes, would do 

 well to secure a copy of Vol. I. without delay, as the number 

 of copies in stock is limited.
