 inent by recent events, Tappan Adney writing of the birds of the Klon- 

 dike; H. W. Henshaw, of the birds of Hawaii; L. M. McCormick, of 

 Philippine birds and F. M. Chapman of Cuban birds, while A. J. Camp-

 its of the Bower Birds of Australia, accompanying his paper by actual

For Teachers there will be a series of papers on teaching ornithol- 

 ogy, in which Oliver Thorne Miller, Prof, Lynds Jones of Oberlin, Mar- 

 ion C. Hubbard of Wellesley and others will describe their methods of

Students will be glad to avail themselves of the assistance offered by 

 Bird-Lore's 'Advisory Council,' a new idea in self-educational ornithol- 

 ogy, which places students in direct communication with an authority 

 on the bird-life of their region who has consented to aid them. Among 

 special papers for students will be Ernest Seton Thompson's 'How to 

 Know the Hawks and Owls,' illustrated by the author; F. A. Lucas, 

 'Tongues of Birds,' also illustrated by author; Professor Pynchon of 

 Trinity College, will write on a method of keeping notes, and John 

 Rowley will describe a recently invented camera, which opens new 

 fields in bird photograph3^ * 



The illustrations will be of the same high character as those for which 

 Bird-Lore has already become distinguished.
