It would be very nice if we could have an illus- 

 tration in the first number of our new volume next 

 IMarch. I do not know whether there are any artists 

 among our members. I should be glad to receive 

 drawings or photographs suitable for reproduction. 



We shall probably be making considerable alterations 

 in the outward appearance of " Bird Notes " with the 

 commencement of the new volume. Will, therefore, 

 members who have suggestions to make kindl}' forward 

 them to me ? I will see that the}- are dul}' laid before the 

 •Council.
