 Natural History and a Fellow of the American Ornithologists' Union. 



The lectures will be ten in number and will be illustrated by lantern 

 slides and study material. In addition, the lectures will be sent out to 

 subscribers as a Correspondence Course. These lectures will treat the 

 subject systematically, and while neither too technical nor too ele- 

 mentary, they will not be of a "popular" order. Those attending are 

 expected to take full notes and at the close of the course to take a written 

 examination, as are all those taking the Correspondence Course. A set 

 of these lectures (100 pages or more) will constitute a valuable text- 

 book on the subject. 



At the close of Dr. Allen's course, an eleventh lecture will be given 

 by Prof. Alfred O. Gross of Bowdoin College, for the purpose of indi- 

 cating to bird-banders and bird-lovers how they can best assist the work 

 in their respective fields. 



The lectures will be delivered in the Lecture- room of the Boston 

 Society of Natural History, corner Boylston and Berkeley streets, Boston, 

 at 7:45 p.m., beginning Tuesday, January 8, and continuing on succes- 

 sive Tuesdays. 



Price of Lecture Course $5.00 



Price of Single Tickets 75 



Price of Correspondence Course 3.00 



The promoters of this course are confident that those who take it 

 will find an increased enjoyment in their field excursions and in bird- 

 banding, and more important still, will gain an added appreciation of 

 the great abundance of ornithological problems waiting to be solved, 

 problems on one or more of which every bird-student should take de- 

 light in working. The New England Bird Banding Association offers 

 this course not only for the pleasure it will give to bird-lovers but for 

 the permanent profit to ornithology which it firmly believes will result 

 from it. An application blank for the course is enclosed.

TT is with great regret that we announce the sudden death at 

 -*- Philo, Illinois, on New Year's Eve, of Isaac Hess, the well-known 

 ornithologist and an important contributor to the columns of this 

 Bulletin. In the next issue of this Bulletin will appear a biographical 

 sketch of his life, together with an appreciation of his scientific writ- 

 ings and of his contribution to the cause of protection of bird-life.
