BULLETIN 



OF THE 



Nuttall Ornithological Club: 



A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY. 



sevei^tth: 'jrEA.R, of FUBrjic-A-Tioisr. 



This Bulletin is devoted to 



GENERAL ORNITHOLOGY. 



All the leading ornithologists of this country, and nearly all others who are actively inter- 

 ested in the progress of the science, are regular contributors to its pages. 



Though intended primarily as the medium of communication between working ornitholo- 

 gists, and consequently maintaining a high technical character, it aims to be entertaining as 

 well as instructive, and contains a fair proportion of sufficiently popular matter to suit all those 

 who are interested in Birds. It will be mainly devoted, as heretofore, to the Ornithology of 

 North America. Being a general 



MAGAZINE OF ORNITHOLOGY, 



its review department promptly gives critical notices, not only of American works and 

 papers, but of the more important publications relating to Ornithology at large; while its 

 department of General Notes is rich in the experiences of the working ornithologists of this 

 country. 



As heretofore, the Editorial Supervision is in charge of 



MR. J. A. ALLEN, 



Assisted bv PROF. S. F. BAIRD a?id DR. ELLIOTT COUES.
