EXAMPLE IS BETTER THAN PRECEPT. 



Will you not • act together and co-operate with us in endeavouring 

 to protect and preserve our species of wild birds ? 



The Wild Bird Investigation Society seeks — 



(1) To further the protection of all beneficial and non-injurious wild 

 birds, and the repression of really injurious species ; 



(2) To influence and educate public opinion as to the destructiveness 

 or usefulness of wild birds to agriculture, forestry, the fisheries, etc.; 



(3) To discourage egg and bird collecting, except under proper guidance, 

 or for scientific purposes ; 



(4) To advocate the improvement and modification of existing Laws 

 relating to wild birds, and the establishment of bird sanctuaries, under 

 efficient control ; 



(5) To establish local branches throughout the United Kingdom; and 



(6) Generally to promote the study and advance the science of 

 Ornithology in all its aspects. 



Anyone, anywhere, who in any way can, will, or wishes to aid thi^ 

 good cause, is requested to communicate with Dr. W. E. Collinge, The 

 Wild Bird Investigation Society, St. Andrews, Scotland.
