We note with genuine regret the discontinuance of publication 

 of '"The Journal of the Maine Ornithological Society." It speaks 

 volumes for the vitality of that organization that it has been able 

 to maintain a Journal of such high standard for thirteen years. 

 It is a pleasure to know that the discontinuance of its official or- 

 gan does not mean the disintegration of the organization. We 

 congratulate the members of the Maine Ornithological Society on 

 the splendid record which they have made, and wish them many 

 more years of efficient work. 







Whether or not the past severe winter has caused the death of 

 many birds which spend the winter in the United States, particu- 

 larly those which winter from Kentucky to the Gulf, will be made 

 evident as migrations progress. It will therefore be more than 

 usually interesting to study the migrations this spring season. 

 The writer is fortunate in having a class of a dozen capable ad- 

 vanced students who will work on the migrations in the vicinity 

 of Oberlin, having in mind particularly ttie relative abundance of 

 each species as compared with former migration seasons. It is 

 expected that fairly accurate work along this line can be done.

Calls for Bulletins Nos. 4, 5. 6, 7, 8 and 24, wtiich have long 

 been out of print, are so insistent that the advisibility of making 

 accurate reprints of them again arises. Nos. 4 and 5 are both 

 special numbers, and constitute Volume II of the New Series. 

 The estimated cost of reprinting these two numbers would make 

 it necessary to charge a dollar for the two numbers. Nos. 6, 7 

 and 8 are the first three numbers of Vol. Ill, New Series. These 

 three, with No. 24. would need to cost a dollar. Thus the six 

 numbers in reprint would need to cost two dollars. Ordered sep- 

 arately No. 4 would be 40 cents ; No. 5, 70 cents ; Nos. 6, 7. 8 

 and 24, 25 cents each. If enougti advance orders are received to 

 warrant it the reprints will be ordered.
