THE FOREIGN BIRD CLUB. 



Notices to Members. 



TiiF. Macazim: : Aviary records and descriptions, articles on all 

 -,|Kiir^ n\ birds kept by our members are much needed, if our contents 

 are to l)c' kept as varied as your Editor would wish. Our) lady members. 

 are earnestly urged to do tlieir utmost in this respect, while the manhood 

 •I our roil is manning the various fighting lines of this awful war. The 



ditor greatly regrets that so much from his pen has filled the space of 



recent issues,' and considers that it will ■ not tend to the permanent wel- 



t.ire of our Journal if such has to contmue, — the general e.Kperience and 



lYort of our members* are necessary to maintain this — also it is ()uiie 



'-.siljile to impose a great burden than e\en the "willing horse " can, 



Srn-( RU'TioNS AND DoNATic>\s : The necessity for keeping this matter 

 <-ven ad naiiseiim, is amply demonstrated by the increase in price of all 

 nuwspapers. magazines and periodicals, owing to the increased cost ofi 

 paper, printing, etc., and further reason for its urgency need not be 

 •f given — so we pressingly urge all who have not paid their subscripf- 

 on to remit same sa early as they possibly can. and in like manner press 

 the need of every member sendmg some donation as a help towards the 

 '■■;tra cost <if production which these war tmics entail. We must again 

 ■)int out thai ihc claims \ji f business and National Service keep our 

 Hon. Secretary occupied p.ati cully night and day, in consequence of 

 wiiich the notices and list of donations, etc. in this issue, are very in- 

 lomplete, but this will be rectified as early as possible. 



Nkw v^Ii:.\ibi-.ks : In consequence of these " presMiig times " will 

 all new members plea,e accept the receipt of their copies of " Bird Notes '' 

 as notification of election, and promptly remit their subscriptions and en- 

 tra ice Ite (12. 6d for the first year), to the Hon. Treasurer, whose
