The Maine Ornithological Society comprises in its membership the leading 

 ornithologists and bird students of Maine. The membership is constantly in- 

 creasing and the interest in the Society was never greater 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 entitles each person elected to membership to the 

 Journal free of charge. Application for membership should be made to the 

 Secretary, Mr. Dana W. Sweet, Phillips, Maine. Mr. Sweet is also the Treas- 

 urer and the annual dues should be paid to him. All persons, both young and 

 old, are eligible to membership. It is not necessary for one to be 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 the Journal and increasing its 

 size. Send in your name without further delay. The Society will be glad to 

 welcome you to its meetings, which are held once a year in different cities. 



The sixteenth annual meeting of the Maine Ornithological Soci- 

 ety will be held November 24th and 25th, with afternoon and even- 

 ing sessions on the 24th, and probably a forenoon session on the 25th. 

 The annual meeting is a most suitable occasion for the members of 

 the Society to present some of their season's results. Even when 

 not able to be present, these contributions show an interest that is 

 of great importance to those who can attend, and who, in the past, 

 have been active in the preservation of the organization. The pro- 

 gramme and place of meeting will be duly announced by the Secre- 

 tary.
