Change in Dates of Issue. 



Commencing with this number, American Ornithology will be issued bi- 

 monthly, that is every second month instead of monthly, as at present. This 

 will not mean that the subscribers will lose anything, for on the contrary, 

 they will be gainers, as the magazine will be increased in number of pages, 

 and we expect that the editor will be enabled to give more attention to the 

 preparation of each number. So remember that the next number of the 

 bird magazine will be out August 1st, then October and December. 



We have on hand some excellent material and beautiful illustrations for 

 the coming numbers but we would like more short articles descriptive of un- 

 usual events in the bird world. If you see anything that interests you. write 

 it up and send it to us; you may discover some new trait of bird lite that no 

 one has ever seen before. 



For coloring the Tanager supplement in April magaine we have awarded 

 prizes as follows: 1st., Miss Mary Ward. Oconto. Wis.; 2nd., Hugh Ander- 

 son. Goderich. Ontario; 3rd., Wellington Calvert, Markham. Ontario.
