4 BRITISH BIRDS. 



is the greatest authority on this difficult subject in this 

 country. 



As we have already announced, the articles on "Addi- 

 tions to our Knowledge of British Birds since 1899" will 

 be continued and completed in the present volume, and 

 the results of the Wood-Pigeon enquiry will be given by 

 Dr. C. B. Ticehurst in an early issue. Other contributors 

 to last year's volume will interest us again, and photo- 

 graphy, as an aid to our science, will be to the fore. 



We have given an outline of our programme ; but let 

 no intending contributor think that our space is exhausted. 

 We shall always find room for anything which we think 

 should be put before the readers of British Birds. 



Finally, we need hardly say that we shall continue to 

 make a feature of " Notes," which, we hope, will increase 

 in number and importance, while we shall make a point, 

 as hitherto, of extracting from all sources information of 

 importance to the student of British birds, and thus 

 provide a current history of the subject ; and in this 

 connection we must again ask our readers' help by draw- 

 ing attention to papers ai:id records which have escaped 

 our notice.
