' New Jersey Audubon Bulletin ' 1 present a variety of notes on economic 

 subjects. 



' The Audubon Bulletin ' of the Illinois Audubon Society 2 has become 

 more than a mere bird conservation publication and the Spring and Sum- 

 mer issue for 1918 is full of local ornithological information of permanent 

 value, the Snowy Owl coming in for considerable attention. Migration 

 is also discussed and Mr. Frank Smith presents data to show the direct 

 effect of weather conditions on the arrival of birds. The late expert on this 

 branch of ornithology, Prof. Wells W. Cooke, held exactly opposite views 

 (see Auk, 1913, p. 205) but the reviewer is inclined to favor Mr. Smith's 

 contention. — W. S.
