VERMONT BIRD CLUB 27 



For the benefit of any who may fear that the prosecution 

 of this work may be detrimental to bird life, it should be stated 

 that the Association is thoroughly in sympathy with the con- 

 servative efforts of the Audubon Societies of this country. The 

 shooting of birds for the recovery of the bands is no way a part 

 of the scheme. As a guarantee of good faith it may mentioned 

 that the present membership includes not only many of the fore- 

 most members of the American Ornithologists' Union but also 

 leaders of the Audubon movement in America. 



Applications for membership and remittances of dues should 

 be sent to Mr. C. J. Pennock, Kennett Square, Pa. Persons 

 interested in the banding and caring to assist in this part of the 

 work should address Dr. Leon J. Cole, College of Agriculture, 

 University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis. 



The secretary of the Bird Club distributed some of these 

 bands at the last winter meeting, and will gladly furnish such to 

 other members who wish to use them. He will be pleased to 

 answer questions in regard to the matter.
