be desirable. Please give this matter of contributing to these reports 

 3'our immediate attention. 



The editor has felt for some time that a quarterly edition of the 

 Bulletin has many advantages over the bi-monthly edition. The 

 larger number of pages would make a better looking magazine ; it would 

 afford a better opportunity for the composition and compilation of field 

 notes and field work ; and it would be less expense. Each issue would 

 consist of not less than twenty-four pages, thus making the yearly out- 

 put no less than with the bi-monthly edition. Second-class mailing rates 

 would continue in force, so that the cost of mailing would be somewhat 

 less, on account of the use of fewer envelopes and a less number of 

 covers for the Bulletin, .not to mention the lessened work of addressing 

 and mailing. The editor solicits comments from all interested upon the 

 feasibility of issuing four instead of six numbers of the Bulletin for 

 the coming year, not decreasing the number of pages issued during the 

 year. 



The editor wishes to enlist every reader in the effort to increase the 

 subscription list of the Bulletin, and toward that end he will gladly 

 send extra copies to any one who can use them to introduce the Bulletin 

 to friends or acquaintances. We must have at least loo new subscribers 

 before the close of the century. You can help to bring this about. 

 Won't you do it ?
