 leading ornithologists and bird students of Maine. The membership

 than now. If you are interested in birds and wish to know more about 

 them you should by all means send in your name for membership in this 

 society. The dues are one dollar a year, and payment of this sum en- 

 titles each person elected to membership to the Journal free of charge.

 versed in bird lore in order to insure his election to this society. The 

 larger the membership the more can be done in the way of improving
