Subscribers whose subscription expires with the present issue will find a properly dated 

 renewal blank in their magazine. In the event of a desire not to renew, the publishers would 

 greatly appreciate a postal to that effect. 



flS^To subscribers whose subscription expired with the issue for June, 1902, and who have 

 as yet neither renewed their subscription nor, in response to our request, sent us a notice to discon- 

 tinue their magazine, the present number is sent in the helief that the matter of renewal has been 

 overlooked. We trust it will now receive prompt attention.

 and no bird lover who is not alreadv supolied can find a better investment than back vol- 

 umes of this magazine. Vols. I and III are offered at the subscription price of $1 each, post- 

 paid ; the price of Vol II is $2.
