THE FOREIGN BIRD CLUB. 



Notices to Members. 



On'ins to (heir importance, from the exigencies of the *' times " 

 we repeat the Notices given in oilr last issue, pretsing them upon the 

 careful consideration of each member. 



Thk Magazine : Aviatry records and 'descriptions, artirles on alt 

 species of birds kept hy our members are much needed, if our contents 

 are to be kept as varied as your Editor would wish. Our lady member?- 

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

 of o\\( roll is manning the various fighting lines of this awful war. TIk^ 

 Editor greatly regrets that so much from his pen has filled the space tV 

 recen: issues, and considers that it will not tend to the permanent wel- 

 fare of our .Journal if such has to continue — the general experience and 

 clTort of our members are necessary to maintain this-also, it is quite 

 possible to impose a greater burden than oven the " V'H'nK h:)rse " cm 

 carry. 



Si^n.scRinioNs and Donations : The necessity for keeping this matter 

 even ad nauseiim, before you, is amply de.nonsiratcd by the increase >n 

 price of al) newspapers, magazines, and periodicals,,owing to the incresed 

 cost ot ,paper, printing, etc.^ and further reason for the urgency need not' b(i 

 given! — so we pressingly urge all who have- not paid their subscript- 

 ion to remit "same as early as they po.^siblv can, and in like manner pre.-;sl 

 the need of every member sending some donation as a hc\p towards the 

 extra cost of production which these war times entail. We must ag.iin 

 point out that the claims of business and National Service keep our 

 Hon. Secretary occupied practically day and night in consequence of 

 which the no/ices and list of donations, etc. in this issue are very in- 

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