TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



All Editorial communications and Books for Review or MSS., must be sent 

 to H. K. Swann, 10, Harrington Street, London, N.W. To be dealt 

 with in the following issue, communications must be received by the 

 12th of each month. 

 Subscriptions (one year, 6s. ; half-year, 3s. 3d.) and Advertisements must be 

 sent to John Bale & Sons, 85-89, Great Titchfield Street, London, W. 



R. A., Dumfries. — Shall be glad to have occasional Bird notes as 

 suggested. You might send paper on Common Sandpiper and Dipper for 

 consideration. When the Editor has more leisure he will write some 

 articles like that you mention ; he has a partly-written paper on " A New 

 World Titmouse " somewhere. 



May we remind those subscribers who have not yet remitted their 

 subscriptions that these are due in advance. "Every little helps, 5 ' and we 

 are not independent of help, so will they kindly remit at once. 



Owing to delays while in the press, the Editor's "Concise Handbook of 

 British Birds" (London: John Wheldon & Co., 58, Great Queen Street, 

 W.C., 3s. 6d.) was not published until June 26th, and was, therefore, too 

 late for review in this issue. 



Mr. Hermann Rolle has sent us a copy of his " Normal Catalogue" of 

 eggs of birds of the Palsearctic region. 



"The Ornithologist" may be ordered through any bookseller on 

 mentioning the Trade Agent, i.e., Elliot Stock, Paternoster Row.
