The " Pioneer Legion," of Holyoke, 

 Mass., has about decided to issue an ama- 

 teur paper in the interests of birds, their 

 uests and eggs, to be entitled Our Birds. A 

 communication from Mr. Metcalf, the Sec- 

 retary, on this subject will be found among - 

 "Legion Reports." 



Various questions have been sent in, in 

 regard to the admission of single members, 

 or those who could not find enough per- 

 sons interested in ornithology and oology 

 to join. To accommodate these, it has 

 been decided that a due of 7.5c. be paid to 

 the Chief Secretary, so that in case mem- 

 bers should chance to be added to form a 

 Legion, the sum can be used as a subscrip- 

 tion fee, 



To aid in our study of ornithology and 

 oology, it has been decided to require a 

 monthly report from each individual mem- 

 ber, and signed by himself, containing no 

 more than five and not less than two pages 

 of common note paper, written on one side 

 only. These will be folded from side to 

 side, and signed as follows ; 



The contents of these reports must re- 

 late to the observations of the member on 

 birds, their nests and eggs, contain no per- 

 sonal or individual remarks, and, above 

 all, be concise and to the point. Interest- 

 ing reports will therefore be expected on 

 the first of every month from the Corre- 

 sponding Secretaries of the Legions, to 

 whom the reports will be handed by the 

 members. Tlie best and most valuable of 

 these will be selected for publication. Sec- 

 retaries will please see that this regulation 

 be carried out. 



Several Legions have thus far sent in 

 copies of their by-laws, and while some of 

 them are brief, others are too long and con- 

 tain too much unnecessary matter. The 

 following is an extract from the by-laws of 

 Pioneer Legion, No. 1 ; 



Fees. — Any member not attending a reg- 

 ular meeting, and without satisfactory ex- 

 cuse, must contribute some specimen to- 

 ward a general museum," etc. 



The above is an excellent rule, and it 

 will be advisable for all Legions to adopt
