June, the month of roses, has broug-ht forth 

 a new flower in the form of a mag^azine called 

 The Bittern. 



We have tried very hard to make this, our 

 first number, an extra g-ood one; and how 

 well we have succeeded we leave with our 

 readers to judg-e. 



The main objects of this publication are the 

 protection and the study of birds. 



We make no g-reat promise other than this: 

 we shall spare neither time nor pains to make 

 this little mag-azine a "thing- of beauty and of 

 joy forever."
