I N placing the first number of the Magazine before the members of the

Avicultural Society, we wish to take the opportunity of explaining a

little more fully the objects for which the Society has been founded.

There is a large and increasing number of people scattered all over

the country, who are greatly interested in birds and bird-keeping, but who,

by reason of their living so far apart, can never meet to compare notes or

form themselves into ordinary Societies, which exist for and by the hold¬

ing of meetings. We now offer them a Society which holds no meetings,

and which is kept together by the penny post.
