In response to a considerable demand for a Catalogue of the Ornitho- 

 logical collection of Mr. J. L. Childs we have thought best to give it in this 

 issue of The Warbler. This demand comes largely from students and writ- 

 ers on Ornithological topics who wish to know just where specimens of North 

 American birds, nests and eggs, not usually found in Museums, can be seen 

 or data regarding same secured. 



This will be the last number of The Warbler as a regular publication. 

 Though we have aimed to publish nothing but strictly original matter of 

 scientific value, it has not been a success. Had subscriptions amounted to 

 one-half its cost we would have felt there was a real demand for it, but 

 amounting, as they actually have, to less than ten per cent, of the cost of 

 issuing the magazine we feel there is no reason from any standpoint what- 

 ever in continuing it as at present. We shall, however, issue it once a year, 

 probably in July or August at the close of the breeding season for the pur- 

 pose of recording such scientific or interesting Ornithological facts as come 

 to our attention. It will be sent free to all who apply.
