The Foreign Bird Club. 



Notices to Members. 



_ 1 UK Magazine : Ihe Hon. Editor and Secretary would be grate- 

 ful for any donations, however small, to the Illustration Fund. Our lllust-- 

 rations form one of the most practical fi-ytures of our .Journal, but in 

 thewe 'time* they are very costly ; yet, if each will send a little, there 

 Will be no need for further curtailment than in receint issues — the Hon. 

 Editor presses this point upon the consideration of all. He would also be 

 grateful for articles ■ upon any and every topic of aviculture — individual ex- 

 periences, because we get similar from many, situated in various localities 

 does not necessarily mean mere repetition ; rather the. comparison of such 

 results from many localities is most valuable, — 'moreover, there are many 

 roSds, all of which may and often do lead to success, and the more fre- 

 quent publication of such in our Journal should still further tend to enhance 

 the value of " Bird Notes " as an Avicultural Text Book — this ought to 

 he ihc ambition and aiin of every member. 



SuB.sc RiPTiONS ■; There are still a few of these unpaid, and we 

 would again remind those in default, that we hiive to meet very heavy 

 printing bills at fretjueni intervals, and that subscription's and donations are 

 our SDie' source of inconie. The earnest desire of your Council is to 



h'astfn the time' when subscriptions will pro\'ide a sufficient income ; bui 

 tho slack ovtersight of the date when such become due (.Jan. isti, and the 

 failure to remit them promptly cause much anxiety and unpleasantness to 

 youi- honorary ofificers. We would further remind members that all officers, 

 without exception, give their services'^gratuitously ; thus the whole income of 

 the Club comes back to the members in the form of a valuable Journ.il, 

 Medals, etc. It should not be needful to pre.s^ the matter further, and 

 apology is unnecessary for this plain statement of the case. J
