58 THe Witson BuLretin, No. 74. 
two Bulletins containing reports. Then began a regular series of 
six issues a year, albeit most of them were small and thin. The 
opening ‘of the new century saw the number in the year reduced 
to four, and the size more than doubled. And thus we reach the 
point of this brief sketch. The last volume was much the best 
that our organization has accomplished, but the present volume 
will surpass the last one. There are now ready for the printer 
three exceptionally fine articles which could not find room in the 
present number for the June issue, and Mr, Frank L. Burns’ mon- 
umental work on the Broad-winged Hawk will be printed as the 
September number. It is waiting for the printer. It will cover 
some 150 Bulletin pages, and will be well illustrated. This will 
be Mr. Burns’ third “ Monograph.” It is the most complete life 
history that has ever been written of any bird. 
The present number of the Bulletin has been been held up for 
want of mailing envelopes. The order was in for three months 
before it was filled. The manufacturers of mailing enyelopes seem 
to be doing a marvelous business! 
The editor's promised report of the summer work done on Pe- 
lee Island will have to be put over until a supplementary sum- 
mer’s work is done on Point Pelee under simliar conditions. Al- 
ready plans are under way for that work, to occupy the latter 
part of the coming summer. 
The Falcones series will be resumed with the June number, It 
has not been possible to secure all of the materiai necessary to 
continue the series earlier. 
Field Notes 
FALCO RUSTICOLUS IN OHIO, 
During a visit at the Ohio State University in November, 1910, 
Prof. James S. Hine showed ime a mounted specimen of falco 
rusticolus in the museum of the University. The bird was shot 
on January 30, 1907, at Washington C, T1., in Ohio. The Professor 
stated that somewhere there was a published note of this, but it 
was not in any bird magazine, and I think it worth while to bring 
this hiden record to light in our Bulletin, where the ornithologists 
can read it and have ready access to the record.
