JOURNAL OF MAINE ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Prof. P. M. Silloway makes us smile 

 as we read it, for it carries us back to 

 our early days of interest in ornitho- 

 logy. . 



We note the following articles of in- 

 terest in Nature Study, published at 

 Manchester, N. H., in the December 

 issue an article by F. W. Batchelder, 

 entitled "A Revised Creed," it treats 

 on the House Sparrow in an interest- 

 ing way. An article of interest in the 

 March number "The Gulls and Terns 

 of New England" by W. R. Varick, M. 



D. 



With the January-February issue of 



the Condor, which begins Vol. IV, we 

 note a change in cover and design 

 which is pleasing. This interesting 

 Western bird magazine has heretofore 

 confined its notes to Cal. ornithology, 

 but. with Vol. IV they will branch out 

 and treat on the birds of the West. 



The Cooper Ornithological Club is a 

 large and enthusiastic society and we 

 wish our Western brothers the success 

 they so greatly deserve. 



The Wilson Bulletin for March con- 

 tains several articles of very general 

 interest.
