I have little douht that Bluebirds, and possibly Robins, were 

 somewhere about also. 



A jjflance at the summary will sbiow that of the 21 species 

 recorded the Tree Sparrows were by far the most numerous in 

 individuals, yet tliey were far less in evidence during the day

 when _\'ou can meet 310 birds in their own reception halls !

A SUGGESTION. 



It is generally recognized, as is believed tiiat the modern 

 trend of investigating though.t lies more and more directly in 

 the line of specialized effort. This is true with at least several 

 branches of the natural sciences and of late years also seems 

 to be holding good in the work produced by many of our best 

 ornithologists. Our own chapter publications, for example, 

 have contributed several noteworthy efforts in that direction, 

 and of which, more recently, the Flicker Bulletin might be fav- 

 orably mentioned in this connection. 



Though Prof. Jones' "Warbler Songs" should certainly
