 IN ** BIRD-LORE.'' its pages are filled with descripti(jns of experiences with 

 birds in field and forc'^t Iroin tlie pens of writers who have won world-wide fame 

 as literary naturalists. Among the contributors to Bird-Lore are 



John Burroughs Ernest Thompson Seton J. A. Allen 



Dr. Henry van Dyke Olive Thorne INIiller William I^rewster 



Bradford Torrey Florence ]\Ierriam Bailey Robert Ridgway 



and numerous other writers known both for their powers of observation and des- 

 cription. 



In addition to general descriptive articles, Bird-Lore has departments "For 

 Teachers and Students," wherein are are given useful hints in bird-study, and "For 

 Young Observers," designed to develop the love of birds inherent in all children. 

 These, with reviews of current ornithological literature, editorials, teacliers' leaflets, 

 and reports of the work of the Audubon Societies, make a magazine which no bird- 

 jover can do without. 



Not less delightful and entertaining than the text are Bird-Lore's illustra- 

 tions, which include actual j)hotographs of tae birds in tluir haunts, showing them 

 at rest and in motion, brooding their eggs, or feeding their young, as well as 

 drawings. A feature of the coming year will be a series of plates by Bruce Horsfall
