DECEMBER. 1919. 



THE FOREIGN BIRD CLUB. 



Notices to Members. 



Ei-ECTiON OK Council : No other nominations hav'ng- been received. 

 H.G. The Duchess of Wehington, Maj. A. E. Snape, and Capt. G. E. Rattigan 

 have been duly elected to serve on the Council for 1920. 



Our Journal : As we have pointed out elsewhere in this issue, 

 contributors to the Club Journal have been less in numbers during th's year 

 than in the past ; for this, war and armistice times, and the paucity of birds, 

 may be a very good reason : at the same time ,we would strongly point out 

 that, if Bird Notes is to maintain its standing as a record of the doings of 

 b'rds in our members' aviaries, as well as dealing with the wild-life of Foreign 

 and British avifauna, there must be an increased number of contributors of 

 copy. Varied contributors mean varied contents and a continuity of interest 

 in the Club Journal, and we strongly press this point upon our members. 

 There are many pre-war Reminiscences, and Breeding Records that have 

 never been published, and we urge our members to assist the Hon. Editor 

 bv sending such articles in. Members residing abroad are also strongly 

 urged tci send in. Field-Notes of the birds of their locality, also notice' of the 

 aviculture of the country they reside in ; all such would prove intensely 

 interesting to all our readers, and we feel assured members only need a 

 reminder to assist on some such lines as ^bove indicated.
