A Letter from Professor Cooke 



Editor Bird- Lore: 



Noticing the article in the last number of Bird-Lore on the migration of the Redstart, 

 one of your subscribers has kindly sent me the dates of arrival of this bird as noted by 

 him for tnventy-five consecutive years. I am not only grateful to him, but I shall greatly 

 appreciate any and all Warbler migration notes that your readers may contribute.

Bird - Lore's Colored Plates 



We have received a great many letters cordially praising the first colored 

 plates in Bird-Lore's series of illustrations of the North American 

 Warblers. It has been quite impossible for us to acknowledge their receipt, 

 but we assure their writers that they are none the less welcome and that 

 we expect the remaining plates of the series will be even better than those 

 which have already appeared. 



The Audubon Calendar for 1904 



The Calendar for 1904 issued by the Massachusetts Audubon Society 

 is by far the most attractive of the series thus far prepared by this society. 

 It figures six species of Warblers, and the reverse of each plate is occupied 

 with descriptive text. 



The calendar may be procured from the Massachusetts Society at the 

 Boston Society of Natural History.
