EDITORIAL NOTICE. 



It has been pointed out that owing to the previous Parts 

 of this Journal having contained unsigned articles, there 

 may hereafter arise doubt as to the authorship of the 

 same, and that it would be best to put on record the fact 

 that the author was the Editor, otherwise myself, G. M. 

 Mathews, who is, therefore, entirely responsible for the 

 matter contained in the previous Parts. I have decided 

 to accept papers from other workers regarding Australasian 

 ornithology, and henceforth all the articles will be signed 

 by the writers thereof.
