EDITORIAL 



The distressing delay in mailing the September number of this 

 Bulletin must be laid at the door of those who handled the issue 

 as freight. The shipment went far astray, just how far may not 

 be known. It was nothing for which the officers of the Club can 

 be held responsible, and nothing that could have been foreseen. 



The Third Annual Meeting of the Wilson Ornithological Club 

 will be held in Columbus, Ohio, December 28 and 29, in the Horti- 

 cultural Building of the Ohio State University, in conjunction with 

 the American Association for the Advancement of Science. There 

 is every indication that there will be a large attendance. 



The editor is obliged to defer the reviews of the ornithological 

 magazines until the next number. They contain papers which 

 should receive more attention than it would be possible to give 

 them in the space and time at our disposal with this number. 



Hereafter the " Bluebird," which has been under the manage- 

 ment of Dr. Eugene Swope, Cincinnati, Ohio, will be issued from 

 Cleveland, Ohio, under the auspices of the Cleveland Bird Lovers 

 Association. It will be edited by Mrs. Elizabeth C. T. Miller. We 

 wish it success in its new environment. The new address is 1010 

 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio.
