THE GENERAL MEETING. 



It has not yet been possible to fix a date for 

 holding the General Meeting-. It is desirable, if 

 possible, that the meeting should he held by 

 invitation from either a l^ocal Brancli or from 

 members who would assist in makin;^ local 

 arrangements. .Some central town, easv of rail- 

 way access, is almost imperative if the attendance 

 has to be a large one. The Secretarv will be 

 pleased to receive suggestions or to hear from 

 anv members willing to co-operate. 



THE JOURNAL. 

 The ditlicultics attendant upon the production 

 ol a first number of a new publication are man\', 

 the editor therefore trusts that members will not 

 form any hasty judgment based on the first part. 

 I'hc scope and nature of the contents of the 

 Journal will depend \ ery largely upon the mem- 

 bers themselves, and a hearty invitation is 

 extended to all to contribute papers, notes, photo- 

 graphs, etc. 



FORMATION EXPENSES 



in connection with the formation of the W'ikl 

 Bird Investigation .Society, the .Secretary has 

 incurred a debt of ^.2h for printing, postage, 

 stationery, advertising, etc. It has been sug- 

 gested, that this amount should not fall upon the 

 Society, but that it should be liquidated by 

 donations from members. Those willing to 

 subscribe are requested to forward their dona- 

 tions to Dr. Collinge, ;,, Queen's Terrace, .St. 

 -Andrews. 



JOURNAL FUND 



Owing to the high charges for printing and 

 illustrating, the cost of the Jannial, for a time, 

 will prove a serious item in the finances of the 

 Society ; its educational value, how ever, cannot 

 be overestimated. We therefore appeal, with 

 some confidence, for financial support. .\ list of 

 donations will be pul.-'ished in the next issue of 

 the Journal. 



P.S. — If vou do not care to subscribe person- 

 ally to the Journal, will you ask the Librarv of 

 your L^niversity, vour Institute, your Laboratorv, 

 vour School, the scientific .Societ\- or the Club to 

 which vou belong, to do so. B\ this means vou 

 will be able to consult it, or the part which 

 interests you most, and at the same time you w ill 

 give the opportunitv of doing the same to main- 

 colleagues, who will be grateful to you lor the 

 good idea.
