' Bird-Lore's ' Advisory Council 



WITH some slight alterations and additions we reprint below the 

 names and addresses of the ornithologists forming Bird-Lore's 

 'Advisory' Council,' which were first published in BiRD-LoRE 

 for February, 1900. 



To those of our readers who are not familiar with objects of the 

 Council, we may state that it was formed for the purpose of placing stu- 

 dents in direct communication with an authority on the bird -life of the 

 region in which they live, to whom they might appeal for information and 

 advice in the many difficulties which beset the isolafed worker. 



The success of the plan during the year in which it has been in oper- 

 ation fully equals our expectations, and from both students and members 

 of the Council we have had very gratifying assurances of the happy results 

 attending our efforts to bring the specialist in touch with those who appre- 

 ciate the opportunity to avail themselves of his wider experience. 



It is requested that all letters of inquiry sent to members of the Council 

 be accompanied by a stamped and addressed envelope for use in replying.
