BULLETIN No. 32. 17 



WANTED. 



The editor desires migration notes from every reader of 

 this notice, for the first five days of May, for as many years 

 as possible, but particularly for 1900. These notes should 

 cover records of first seen, of the species that become com- 

 mon, of those last seen during the five days. It is not nec- 

 essary that these notes should cover several years, nor that 

 they should include a large number of species, to be of value, 

 but only that they should reach the editor not later than the 

 first of September. A consciously fragmentary record will 

 be just as welcome as any. Please give this matter your 

 immediate attention.
