fered a free copy of a leaflet on these subjects to all appli- 

 cants. A ^reat proportion of the papers puhlished both of 

 these stories and from the hrst we received 46 and from the 

 second 8>7 requests for leaflets. As noted in the Bulletin, there 

 is no question that much benefit accrued to the bird life of the 

 State. Incidentally it may be mentioned that at the home of the 

 Secretary, a flock of more than 40 Purple Finches, many 

 J uncos, Song Sparrows, Chickadees, Titmice, Nuthatches, Myr- 

 tle \\ arblers. Downy W'oodp-eckers, Crossbills, and Blue Jays 

 were fed throughout the winter, over 100 pounds of sunflower 

 seed and large quantities of other seed and suet being con- 

 sumed. During the 'exceptionally severe weather of late winter 

 and early spring, no doubt many birds' lives were saved through 

 the active help stimulated by these press notices. 



An article entitled "Cats versus Birds" went out to th-e 

 New Jersey papers on August 29. It was generally published

 of this serious menace to bird life. 



The Bulletin : During the fiscal year 5 issues of the Bulletin

 jointly with the Pennsylvania Audubon Society under the title 

 of "New Jersey and Pennsylvania Audubon Bulletin." At a 

 meeting of the Executive Committee on May 26, it was de- 

 cided to puljlish th-e Bulletin independently and Numbers 6 

 and 7 appeared under the title "New Jersey Audubon Bulletin," 

 on a better quality of paper and each containing a halftone 

 illustration. Still further improvements are contemplat*ed if 

 financial resources justify. 



Junior Audubon Class Work: Junior Audubon Class work 

 in the schools has, as heretofore, claimed a very considerable 

 part of our attention. Owing to the sudden stimulation of this 

 work in New York, IMichigan and Illinois, New J-ersey dropped 

 from the lead it had hitherto held to fourth place, being ex- 

 ceeded by Illinois, however, only by 3 classes, while the num- 

 ber of pupils in New Jersey classes exceeded those of 

 Illinois by 1,208. During the year there were organized
