Notices to Members. 



MK>nti:Rs' Meetings at the Zok By request those g-ath- 

 oriiigs are being i-eiiewed again this yea-, and we venture to hope 

 that tliey willlie more largely attended, also that London members will 

 make a special point of being present, and avail themselves of the 

 opportunity of meeting the membe 's, who, residing in the ooimtry, 

 take quite long journeys to be p.e.5ent, and do the birds together. 

 The first meeting has been fixed for Thursday, May 29th, at 11 

 a.m. and 2-30 p.m., rendezvous Small Birds' House; also on Sat- 

 urday, June 21st, time and place of meeting as above— Club Badges 

 to be worn. A note to Mr. W. T. Bogers, , Weald View, Ongar 

 Boad, Brentwood, Essex, intimating intention to be present would be 

 appreciated, as this allows of. some little organisation. 



The Maoa/.ine: The Hon. Editor hopes that members will 

 keep him supplied with notes of the doings of their birds, and also 

 send in copy of breeding records, descriptions of aviaries, account!? 

 of nev.' acquisitions, etc. Copy re Parrots, Parrakeets, Cranes, 

 Waterfowl, and Game Birds ge?ierally is specially desired. Will each 

 member kindly consider this as a personal request for an account of 

 tJieir aviaries (or" birdrooms) and birds? Our scope covers both 

 British' and Foreign Spei'ies, and it is hoped a good number will 

 send in copy promptly so that our contents may be kept varied. 

 Donations are also much needed to the Illustration Fund, so that 

 not only may the number and quality of our illustrations be kept 

 up, liut that we may also be in a position to avail ourselves of 

 any unique opportunity that presents itself of figuring rare and un- 

 common species as they appear.
