The Maine Journal enters upon its 8th volume with this issue, 

 and the editor is pleased to announce that all outstanding bills have 

 been paid through the generous response of members and subscrib- 

 ers to the call made at the la.st annual meeting of the .society. 



In order to meet the expenses of publication for the coming 

 3'ear it will be necessary for everybody to send in his cash promptly 

 as called for. Many new members have been secured and more 

 should be added to the rolls this spring. Note the circulars en- 

 closed in this number and follow the suggestions contained therein. 



Chas. K. Reed, Worcester, Mass., sends the Journal a copy 

 of Part II of his new Bird Guide. This contains all the land birds 

 east of the Rocky mountains, each bird being pictured in colors. 

 Bound in sock cloth for 50 cents, or in flexible leather for 75 cents. 



On account of the large amount of matter sent in for this issue 

 many notes have been crowded out, and they will appear in the next 

 number, unless they are out of date before that time. 



During the approaching spring migration our members should 

 keep full notes of their observ^ations and give the Journal the ben- 

 efit of them for the June number.
