The Foreign Bird Club. 



Notices to Members. 



Club Meetings: The first of these will take place pa 

 "Wednesday, May 17th, rendezvous: Small Bird House, Zoological 

 Gardens, Regents Park, at 2 p.m. It is suggested that a» small 

 badge be worn, bearing the letters F.B.C. It is hoped members 

 will make early application for same — cost will be very small — if 

 not ready for the first meeting, a copy of Bird Notes' carried 

 in the hand will form a ready means of recognition. We should 

 be glad to i^eceive the views of members as to these gatherings 

 and suggestions as to arrangements, etc., so that the maximum of 

 interest, help, and pleasure, may be obtained from same. 



It has not been possible to get the facsimile of illuminated 

 address, presented to the Hon. Editor, ready for this issue; it will 

 appear in April issue. 



The Magazine: We would point out, that if any member 

 or members consider any section of the magazine weak, that is, 

 small in comparison to other sections, the remedy is obvious— send in 

 copy or requests for articles on the subjects required — we can 

 only deal with copy sent in, and if there is any felt want, such 

 must be expressed or copy sent in to meet it. The remedy, it will be 

 seen is entirely in members' hands. We request copy on British 

 species. Parrots, Parrakeets, Cockatoos, Macaws, Lories, etc., Doves, 

 Pigeons, Quails, Partridges, Pheasants, Cra,nes, Storks; also Owls, 

 Hawks, and Birds of Prey generally. 



The Club's Medal: A medal has been awarded to Mrs. 

 A. Mahon for breeding the White-eared Bulbul (P. leucotis) for 

 the first time in Great Britain.
