EDITORIAL 



The considerable delay of this number does not presage a like 

 delay for the March number. Many things have conspired to bring 

 about this delay, but they need not be enumerated. Suffice it to 

 say that copy for the March issue is now ready. 



Now that the annual meeting of the Wilson Ornithological Club 

 has been sanctioned officially and is a settled event, as many mem- 

 bers as possible should make definite plans to attend. It does not 

 seem likely that the holiday .season will prove to be a convenient 

 time. President T. C. Stephens would be glad to have all mem- 

 bers express their opinions in regard to the best time for the meet- 

 ing. The editor favors the two days following Thanksgiving. 

 What is your preference? Tell Stephens. 



Notice is hereby given that membership dues are now payable. 

 They should be sent to Treasurer P. B. Coffin, 32.32 Groveland Ave- 

 nue, Chicago, 111. If members will heed this notice it will save 

 the time of the Treasurer as well as save the expense of sending 

 out notices.
