The Journal. 



The present style of printing the separate articles with- 

 out heads, has been adopted for the sake of saving space and 

 expense. Each article is so short that a heading seems super- 

 fluous. This number of the Journal is edited by the Presi- 

 dent and Secretary jointly. 



At the recent election, twenty Active and three Honor- 

 ary members were elected to the Chapter. The names of the 

 new members will be found in our regular list of member- 

 ship. Members are requested to send their dues, as soon as 

 convenient, to the Secretary, Willard N. Clute, Bingham- 

 ton, N. Y. 



After compiling the notes on the Owls into a report, they 

 were handed to President Ballard who kindly published them 

 ill. the May number of the Popidar Science News^ P^gc 70. 

 The report speaks for itself. No one can fail to recognize 

 the necessity for more and fuller and more carefully jDrepared 

 reports upon the birds studied. We must show what we are 

 capable of doing this year of the World's Fair. Let the 

 notes come in!
