Notices to Members. 



Subscriptions : Trying as the past year has been for the officials 



to keep things going and not lose ground, which had only been gained 



by great eflfort, the present year's work is sure to be even more difficult 



for them, and we ask that each member will give the slip accompanying 



this issue careful perusal and consideration. 



The ^Iagazine : Our past volume compares well with its pre- 

 lecessors (we thank many members for their expressed appreciation), and 

 we feel assured the present volume will not be found wanting. Al the 

 same time, this can o.ily be by everyone doing a little and each and 

 all sending in accounts of the doings of their birds. Many members did 

 not do this last year, and the Hon. Editor reijuests, that these will kindlyi 

 send him copy and as.ist him in maintaining interesting issues, till the 

 coming season is in full swing. We live in acute fimes, and it is only by 

 all doing a little — pencil notes will suffice —that our object can be achieved. 



Brekdjng IVIedals : The List for 1916 is nAw under the con- 

 sideration of the Awards' Committee, and will be published next month, and 

 the medals will be distributed as soon as they can he obtained from the 

 medallist.
