JOURNAL OF MAINE ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



"Bird-killing As a method In Orni- 

 thology" is the title of a 16 page 

 pamphlet written by Reginald C. Rob- 

 bins and placed "Formally before the 

 main body of American ornithologists 

 through the courtesy of the distribu- 

 ters of The Auk." After wading 

 through the grandiloquent renderings 

 of the English language which appear 

 in this pamphlet we are forced to 

 conclude that the author has either 

 just finished reading "Wormwood" 

 and taken it as a model for his appeal, 

 or that a dose of "hashish" is respon- 

 sible for the free and easy flow of 

 language. After much gastritis and 

 gastralgia we have managed to digest 

 most of the article, and have conclud- 

 ed that it was whitten to prove that 

 bii*d killing for scientfic purposes 



serves no useful end and is unpermis- 



sible

We wish to call the attention of our 

 members and readers to our "ads." in 

 this No. Each magazine advertised on 

 the several subjects, are very inter- 

 esting indeed, and all wbo are inter- 

 ested in the subjects, on which they 

 treat, will do well to send for sample 

 copy. Those in need of books, mag- 

 azines, specimens or supplies, will do 

 well to note Mr. Hoag's ad. in this 

 issue. His prices are the lowest, and 

 any work he cannot get for you, is 

 hardly worth looking further for. In 

 fact, all our advertisers are thorough- 

 ly reliable.
