Iowa OrnlthoSo^ical Associetion. 



In the last Iowa Okxitholo- 

 (iiST vv'e requested that cai/i 

 active memberof the I. O. A, send 

 in his notes on the families; 

 Tyranindac, Alaiididae, and Ictc- 

 ridac. Onh' twelve members re- 

 sponded to this request. Under 

 the circumstances it is impossible 

 to g"ive as full a report on thise 

 families, as could be desired, as 

 twelve cannot be expected to cover 

 the whole field. Now we have 

 for special study this quarter, the 

 families; Corvidac, Taiuv^ridac,

 plete as pcisible), on all of the 

 species of the family Corr/dac 

 (Crows, etc.) to the Editdr of this 

 mag-azine, on or before the 23tli 

 day of February, 1895. The 

 notes on the family Tanagridac 

 (Tanag-ers) arc to be sent to J. 

 Kug-ene Law. Perry, la., on or 

 before the date, March 1, 1895. 

 Mr. John V. Crone, Marathon, la. 

 will be ready to compile the notes 



on the family Hinindiuidae (Swal- 

 lows) by the 1st of March. Be 

 sure and have your notes in 

 promptly by that time. 



It is your duty as an active 

 member of the Association, to
