The manuscript for a new edition of the List of the Birds of Maine is nearly 

 ready for the printer, and its publication will be undertaken by the Maine Ornith- 

 ological Society as soon as enough subscriptions have been received to insure 

 the payment of the cost of publishing the work. The List has been prepared by O. 

 W. Knight, and conta'ns full and accurate statements regarding the distribution 

 and status of our Maine birds at the present time. The scientific nomenclature 

 has been changed in accordance with the 'recent rulings of the A. O. U. Committee 

 on Nomenclature. 



Two editions of the T -ist are offered. The best edition is bound in paper covers 

 with blank pages between those of printed matter so that sufficient space is given 

 for the writing in of such notes as the purchaser may deem desirable. This will 

 cost seventy-five (75) cents. The other edition without the blank pages will cost 

 fifty (50) cents. 



Fill out the inclosed subscription blank and send it to O. W. Knight, 84 Forest 

 Avenue, Bangor, Maine. As soon as the List is ready to be mailed you will be 

 notified and on receipt of the subscription price it will be sent to you.
