EDITORIAL 



The editor takes great pleasure in 

 announcing to the many readers of 

 The Bittern that Mr. Carl Fritz 

 Henning of Boone, la., has accepted 

 the associate editorship of this maga- 

 zine and begins his duties in that ca- 

 pacity with this issue. Mr. Henning 

 held, until recently, a similar position 

 with The Western Ornitholor/ist, where 

 his service was highly appreciated. 

 Being a conscientious worker and well 

 posted student of ornithology, he has 

 won many friends. Mr. Henning will 

 have full charge of our book and mag- 

 azine review department and will con- 

 tribute an article occasionally. 



Chas. C. Tryon of Avoca, la., has 

 given up his excellent publication, The 

 Western Ornithologist. We are sorry 

 to lose the W. O., as we (Mr. Tryon 

 and I), being brother publishers, had 

 taken a warm interest in each other's 

 welfare and had become, through cor- 

 respondence, fast friends.

 gists. Read our announcement on an-
