EDITORIAL. 



Unforseeu difficulties arose which made it necessary to defer until 

 the next issue the beginning of both the Hawk papers and the paper 

 on the birds of Cedar Point. The delay is in the interest of better 

 papers when they do begin. 



We have already Indicated what are some of the plans for the 

 Bulletin for the coming year ; these need not be repeated. Improve- 

 ments begin with this issue and we expect them to continue during 

 the succeeding issues. The quality of these improvements and their 

 value we are very willing to leave to the reader. Many things 

 which we would be glad to do must wait upon time and the means. 



Migrations have already begun and nesting will be in progress 

 shortly after this issue reaches its readers. Do not forget that one 

 of the things you are surely going to do this year is to study care- 

 fully as many nests as your time and circumstances will permit. 

 Blanks for recording such studies may be had by addressing either 

 the Bulletin at Oberlin, Ohio, or Mr. Frank L. Burns, Berwyn, Pa. 

 You are welcome to as many as you will use, or expect or hope to use.
