WORK OF THE AUDUBON SOCIETIES 181 



accounts of their observations to be published in 

 " Bird-Lore." Brief notes are given of the work being 

 done by the Audubon Societies, and in the Novem- 

 ber-December issue is given the annual report of 

 the National Association. Reviews of books and 

 magazine articles relating to birds are given. Vol- 

 ume 17, for 1915, contained 560 pages. The maga- 

 zine is published at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. 



After the educational leaflets are published in 

 "Bird-Lore," they are printed separately and sold 

 for two cents each, including the four-page leaflet, 

 the colored plate, and an outline drawing. Other 

 special leaflets are issued from time to time. During 

 the year 1914 nearly four million colored plates and 

 educational leaflets were issued. About ninety leaf- 

 lets have now been published, some of which have 

 been bound together in book form. 



The Association publishes annually over six mil- 

 lion pages of literature devoted to bird-protection, 

 and at the office in New York City twenty clerks 

 are employed to look after its business. It has for 

 sale nearly two hundred colored lantern-slides of 

 birds. A very satisfactory field-glass for bird-study 

 is offered for sale for six dollars. The Association 

 acts as a purchasing agent for its members in se- 

 curing anything wanted in the line of bird-study 

 and Audubon work. A circular giving full details 

 may be had on application to the Association at 

 1974 Broadway, New York City.
