THE SOCIETY’S MAGAZINE.



Last year the Committee ventured to try the experiment

of issuing twelve coloured besides many other plates (which was

rendered possible by the great generosity of the Honorary

Business Secretary and Mrs. Phillipps), and a really beautiful

volume has been the result ; but the experiment was hardly

successful from a financial point of view. In the present

volume, therefore, it is proposed to give about eight coloured

plates besides perhaps a few uncoloured, so as to reduce the

expenditure to the amount of the Society’s income. It must be

remembered that even eight coloured plates is a greater number

than has ever before been issued, with the exception of last year.

But although the Committee is resolved on economy, the needs

of future volumes will not be in any way neglected, and coloured

plates will be in readiness for the new year by the time the old

shall have expired.


We may take this opportunity to urge all members who

have not yet paid their subscriptions (which should have been

paid before the first of November last), to do so at once, so that

their names may not have to be struck off the list; and we would

also remind members how greatly they can help the Society and

improve the Magazine by introducing new members.


Referring to the Rules governing the Post Mortem Exami¬

nations, it will be noticed that if a reply is required by post a

fee of 2/6 must be sent with the bird. We should like to

mention that Mr. Gill very generously hands this fee over to

the funds of the Society.



The Editor.
