 common and without interest locally, often prove of great interest when

OUR OFFICIAL ORGANS. . 



The Wilson Ornithological Chapter of the Agassiz Association was 

 organized at Fall River, Mass., December 5, 1888. Its official organ was 

 The Cia-lezv, a twelve page monthly published by O. P. Hauger, Orleans, 

 Indiana. The first Chapter matter appeared in Vol. I, No. 3, Decem- 

 ber, 1888. Publication was suspended with No. 7. Space was then se- 

 cured in The Ornithologists' atjd Ootogists' Semi-Aimiial, a forty-eight 

 page magazine published by W. H. Foote, Pittsfield, Mass. With Vol. 

 Ill, the magazine passed into the hands of C. C. Maxfield, Danbury, 

 Conn., who published one number, when the Chapter assumed control 

 and issued The lVilso?i Quarterly. The Quarterly ran through two 

 numbers, and then gave place to The Jour7tal, which, after the issue of 

 two numbers, gave place to our present Bulletin. 



In view of the fact that the entire edition of The Curlezu, and the 

 first number of Vols. I and II, of The O. &= O. Semi-Anniial are now 

 out of print, while other numbers are becoming scarce, it seems advisable 

 to issue a table of contents of all Chapter literature down to the begin- 

 ning of the present year. In the Table of Contents which follows, the 

 contents of numbers in which no Chapter matter appears, as well as the 

 entire contents of numbers largely made up of other than Chapter matter, 

 is given, so that the table of contents of each number may be complete. 

 Chapter matter is designated as Wilson Chapter Matter, and all other 

 matter as Other Matter. 



For the convenience of any who may desire copies of any of these 

 publications, the following list of the numbers which are not obtainable 

 is given : The Ciirlezv, the entire edition. The O. &^ O. Setni- Annual, 

 Vol. 1, No. I ; Vol. II, No. i. Bulletin, Nos, i, 2 and 3.
