OUR DEFICIT. 



To THE Members of the Foreign Bird Ci.ub. 



I have a much brighter report to make this month 

 respecting our Deficit. Several l)irds have now been 

 sold and some contributions have also been received. 

 Will these uiembers please accept our grateful thanks ? 

 There are still some birds unsold, however, and for these 

 I shall be pleased to receive offers. If any other members 

 would like to help by presenting birds, or contributions 

 of cash, they will be deeply appreciated. If only each 

 member would assist a little, we should soon ])e out of our 

 Treasurer's debt. J- A. vSwan,
