Ornithology, like all other branches of science, has its own periodicals. 

 The chief of these in North America is the "Auk," a quarterly magazine, 

 the official organ of the American Ornithologists' Union. In addition to 

 purely scientific papers, it contains hundreds of articles of interest to 

 Canadians, including local lists copiously annotated with life-history notes 

 from all over the Dominion and descriptions of habits popularly discussed.

 of Science, Philadelphia, Pa.

 popular interesting articles on birds and their habits.

 make-up and illustrations. It is the official organ of the National Audubon 

 Societies and is devoted to the popular study and protection of birds.
