Bird -Lore's Advisory Council 



WITH some slight alterations and additions, we reprint below the 

 names and addresses of the ornithologists forming Bird-Lore's 

 'Advisory Council,' which were first published in BiRD-LoRE 

 for February, 1900. 



To those of our readers who are not familiar with the objects of the 

 Council, we may state that it was formed for the purpose of placing 

 students in direct communication with an authority on the bird-life of 

 the region in which they live, to whom they might appeal for information 

 and advice in the many difficulties which beset the isolated worker. 



The success of the plan during the four years which it has been in 

 operation fully equals our expectations; and from both students and mem- 

 bers of the Council we have had very gratifying assurances of the happy 

 results attending our efforts to bring the specialist in touch with those who 

 appreciate the opportunity to avail themselves of his wider experience. 

 Not only do students appeal to the representative of their own State, but in 

 planning trips to other parts of the country the advice of the resident 

 Councilor as to the best localities for birds, etc., is often sought. 



It is requested that all letters of inquiry sent to members of the Council 

 be accompanied by a stamped and addressed envelope for use in replying.
