S. L. Willard retired at the close of 
volume VI, and with volume IX Frank 
B. Webster became publisher, and M. 
Eaton Cliff assumed the editorship as 
a successor to Jos. M. Wade. Volume 
XI, Frederic H. Carpenter, Rehobeth, 
Mass., became editor, with J. Parker 
Norris as Oological editor, and Wright 
& Bates, Entomological editors; Car- 
penter retired May, 1887, and Wright 
& Bates, the professional entomolo- 
gists, July of the same year, when it 
was published by the Bristol Ornithol- 
ogical Club until the end of volume 
XII, after which Frank B. Webster re- 
sumed control editorially, with J. 
Parker Norris, Philadelphia, and Frank 
A. Bates. The last two volumes pub- 
lished by the Frank Blake Webster 
Company, and after no. 1, 1892, Frank 
A. Bates, name does not appear. 
Volume XVII, the long familiar en- 
graving of the Screech Owl on the per- 
manent title page gives place to that 
of an Osprey scene, one of the same 
appearing on the cover since Decem- 
ber, 1882, drawn by Edwin Sheppard 
of Philadelphia. The “O. & O.” boast- 
ed a large and most loyal clientelage, 
both amateur and the trade, a list of 
whom would include the majority of 
the field collectors of the period. The 
deterioration began more than a year 
previous to the final issue of the triple 
number. <A limited edition only of 
Vol. VI was printed and it was soon 
out of print, VII and VIII sells for $5, 
X-$2.50, XI-$2.00, and XVII-$1.50.

torial of caustic comment on the per- 
sonnel of the Nuttall Ornithological 
Club and the newly organized Ameri- 
can Ornithologists’ Union; recently 
procured from the personal effects of 
the late Jos. M. Wade, have been put
