ANOTHER RECORD 



With this issue we present our read- 

 ers the first photo ever published of 

 the Cackling Goose. Branta canan- 

 densis minuta, nesting in confinement. 

 This bird nests naturally in the 

 Yukon Delta in Alaska and on north 

 to well within the Arctic Circle. It is 

 with a pardonable feeling of pride that 

 we do this. — R. M. Barnes. 



With this issue we publish two of 

 the half tones that accompany the 

 splendid article on "Collecting in Brit- 

 ish Columbia," by J. A. Munro, in the 

 June and July issue of The Oologist. 

 These were crowded out of the issues 

 for those months, as were also two 

 others, which will appear later. 



—Editor.
