this deficit out of the ordinary income. I commend Mr. 

 Swan's ingenious scheme to the generosity of the mem- 

 bers, and if there are any wlio prefer to contribute cash 

 instead of birds, I shall be pleased to receive donations, 

 however small. 



I shall be very glad to receive suggestions from 

 members as to the Club or " Bird Notes." Probably 

 there are many ways in which the usefulness of both 

 could be increased — if we only know of them. 



INIembers will please note the new regulations for 

 advertisements in our " Market." 



During the month of August almost everj-one is 

 away from home, and the weather is not conducive to 

 the writing of articles. It has therefore been decided 

 not to issue " Bird Notes" for that month, and I shall 

 consequently not have the pleasure of addressing the 

 members again until September. I hope I shall be 

 supplied with plenty of copy for our September issue, so 

 that it ma}- be a good number.
