EDITORIAL. 



The southward migraticns are in full progress. Don't slight them. 



How would it do to sit down and compile your notes on the Broad- 

 winged Hawk and send them to Frank L. Burns at once? He would 

 greatly appreciate your help. Not a member of the Club has done 

 anything for him yet! 



You have filled out some of the life history blanks which were 

 mailed with the last Bulletin. Don"t wait to All every space of every 

 blank, but send at once to Mir. Burns before you lose them. The> 

 are valuable. 



Don't fail to plan a strenuous winter campaign with tlie birds, 

 Thisi early caution is made because the editor will have no other op- 

 portunity to remind you of the w'inter study before the winter has 

 begun. The early weeks of the winter are the important weeks. 

 Try to determine what influence the approach of cold has upon each 

 species. Also what effect snow has. 



The editor is making a card catalogue of faunal lists if birds, 

 from lists comprising the whole of North America down through 

 regions covering parts of the country, states, counties, and even 

 parts of counties, such as Christmas and New Years and May Day 

 censo-horizons. His object is to have ready to hand a reference list
