Mr. Jonathan Dwight, Jr., proposes to make a critical study of 

 the entire group of Juncos, and solicits for this purpose the loan of ma- 

 terial from those having specimens in their collections. It is especially 

 desirable to secure large series of specimens of all of the different forms 

 taken in the breeding season. As the material is not desired for use be- 

 fore next November, it is hoped, in the interest of science, that collectors 

 will give special attention to this group during the coming season and 

 be willing to promptly transmit their material to Mr. Dwight early in 

 he autumn. The specimens should be sent to Mr. Dwight, care J. A. 

 Allen, American Museum of Natural History, 77th St. and 8th Ave., New 

 York, N. Y. They will be returned to the owners with reasonable 

 promptness on the completion of the proprosed investigation. 



In order to make the 'Minor Ornithological Publications' as complete 

 as possible, the Associate Editor earnestly begs the readers of 'The Auk' 

 to send him copies of newspapers, or other publications of but local 

 circulation, in which they may happen to notice any ornithological articles 

 or items of scientific value. Such assistance will add greatly to the 

 thoroughness, and hence the usefulness, of these records. 



He also especially desires to obtain, for use in this same connection, 

 Nos. 1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, of 'The Young Ornithologist' (published by Arthur 

 A. Child at Boston in 1885-86) , and Nos. 1 and 6 of Vol. I ; also any num- 

 bers laTer than No. 1 of Vol. II, of 'The Florida Naturalist' published at 

 St. Augustine in 1884-85 (the name changed in the second volume to 'The 

 Naturalist'), and will be greatly obliged tojany one who can inform hi m 

 where copies of these issues can be purchased.
