Journals of Bird Protection. Besides ' Bird-Lore ' the organ of the 

 Audubon Societies and ' Ornithologische Monatsschrift ' the well-known 

 German periodical, we have a constantly increasing number of Journals 

 devoted to the protection of birds and the advancement of popular bird 

 study.. ' Bird Notes and News ' the organ of the Royal Society for the 

 Protection of Birds in England is now in its sixth year, the current numbers 

 being devoted mainly to the plumage bill now before Parliament, and to the 

 attempts to provide resting places for migrant birds on the lighthouses. 



' Blue-bird ' published by Mr. Eugene Swope at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 

 the interest of the Junior Audubon classes and nature study work contains 

 pleasing chats about various phases of nature with excellent photographic

 Oscar Baynard of Clearwater, Florida becomes associate editor. 



' The Oriole ' published by the Somerset Hills Bird Club and edited by 

 Mr. John Dryden Kuser, Bernardsville, N. J. is a credit both to the editor 

 and printer. The June number contains a pleasing account of experiences 

 with British Birds, and of the breeding of the American Merganser in a 

 hollow tree, while the August issue describes the Orioles of Costa Rica and 

 the nesting of the Blue-winged Warbler, also articles on bird study and pro- 

 tection. 



' The Oregon Sportsman ' edited by warden Wm. L. Finlay for the 

 State Fish and Game Commission, contains the record of an active 

 conservator of wild life in enforcing the laws against illegal hunting. In- 

 cidentally the ' cat question ' is considered and the breeding of imported 

 pheasants.
