" The National Committee thinks it so important that all of the Societies 

 should have a number of bird lectures continuously in use that it appeals 

 to the members of the A. O. U. who have bird negatives which they have 

 ceased to use, to contribute them to the National Committee in order that 

 slides may be made from them and furnished to the several societies, 

 without cost. 



" Negatives of any species of wild North American birds will be 

 accepted. ' 



"Acknowledgment of all contributions will be made in 'Bird-Lore,' 

 the official organ of the Audubon Societ es.

 Chairman Naiiotial Committee 

 of Audubon Societies.'''' 



As shown by the report of the Chairman of the A. O. U. Committee on 

 Bird protection, published elsewhere in this number of 'The Auk,' very 

 satisfactory progress has been made the past year in securing better laws 

 for the protection of birds, and a better enforcement of those already 

 enacted, and the great extension and important influence of the work of 

 the Aududon Societies.
