The Magazinp:: The present issue completes Vol. II. 

 of the new series, and, we think, most will agree that it is 

 ahead of its predecessors. We have really given more il- 

 lustrations than our funds warranted, and we trust many mem- 

 bers will assist by contributing to the cost of bloe-ks, that 

 we may be able to grasp opportunities as they arise, of 

 figuring interesting episodes of feathered life, both in field 

 and aviary — Mr. Willford has kindly consented to act as Hon. 

 Official Photographer to the clul), and will respond lb invita- 

 tions to photograph nesting birds, etc., in members aviaries, 

 whenever time permits {see notice under " Notices to 

 Members" in inset). As regards contents of the coming 

 Volume, we can only say as in past years, that if members 

 generally will keep aviary log-books, and send in accounts of 

 the doings of their birds and of new acquisitions, then the 

 coming Volume will not be pne whit behind any that have 

 gone before, either in interest or as a jsource of mutual help 

 to one and all.
