'Bird-Lore's' Advisory Council 



Wl 1\H 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 

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

 the region in which they live, to whom they might appeal for informa- 

 tion and advice in the many difficulties which beset the isolated worker. 



The success of the plan during the two years which it has been in 

 operation 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 appreciate 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.
