NOTICES TO MEMBERS.

^ -^ -^ witli a Coloured Plate. As this plate is a gift to the 

 Magazine, coloured copies have been issued to 



Associates as well as to Members. 



Four otlier plates are about to be prepared for this Volume, 

 and the Honorary Editorial Secretar}' will be glad to receive 

 suggestions from Members and Associates as to what subjects 

 should be chosen for them. It is intended to issue (to 

 Members) coloured plates in alternate nutiibers this year, 

 Associates being supplied with prints from the same litho- 

 graphs, but uncoloured. 



The Magazine Committee intend to make some consider-

 illustrations as are being prepared for the April number will 

 become a regular feature of the Magazine. 



At a Special Meeting of the Council, held by kind 

 permission of Lord Wrottesley, at his house in London, on 

 March nth, Mr. Fillmer tendered his resignation as Honorary 

 Editorial Secretary, and I was appointed in his place. It is 

 probably known to most of our Members and Associates that 

 the Foreign Bird Club owes its existence to Mr. Fillmer, and
