 the leading ornithological publication of this country. 

 Each number contains about lOt) pages of text, a 

 handsomely colored plate, and other illustrations. 

 The principal articles are by recognized authorities, 

 and are of both a pojjular and .scientific nature. The

 of new and interesting facts concerning birds con- 

 tributed by ob.servers throughout the United States 

 and Canada. Recent ornithological literature is re- 

 viewed at length and news items are commented on 

 by the editors. " The Auk " is thus indispensable to 

 those who would be informed of the advance made in 

 the study of birds either in the museum or in the 

 field. Price of current volume, .§3.00. Single num- 

 bers, 75 cts.
