NOTICES TO MEMBERS. 



Thb Magazink : It will be evident to all, that we cannot 

 have many nnnibers as sinnptnousl}' illustrated as the present 

 one (the cost of half tone blocks has however been largely sub" 

 scribed for) ; the future must depend entirely on the support 

 given to the Illus' ration Fund. Copy is very short, and it will 

 certainly militate against the success of the Magazine if we 

 have to work fiom hand to month, as it were. If members 

 will support with copy and donations to the Illustration Fundi 

 the present issue may be taken as indicative, as to what we 

 inaN' hope to reach regularlv by a united effort. 



OiiK Mrmbkrship : It is my strong desire to see our 

 membership at least doubled this year; and if all help in this 

 nmtter unitedly, there should be no difficulty about doing so; 

 most know at any late one whose tastes run in this direction, 

 and by the well worn method of each membei introducing 

 another, this object should be achieved with but little trouble. 



The Council have decided to award certificates as follows: 

 I. To the two nio.st successful breeders during each 

 season. (Xot necessarilv for mere numbers, but also having 

 respect to the species bred). 



2 For breeding am- species for the first time in this 

 countrv. 



The awards will be made by the Awards and Arbitration 

 Committee, and only from the published accounts appearing in 

 the Magazine; their decision will be final.
