 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. 



"The Ornithologist" may be ordered through any bookseller on men- 

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



W. B. R. Clifton. — Russell & Sons, Photographers, Baker Street, 

 London, W. 



C. M., Middlesboro'. — The breeding-grounds of the Curlew-Sandpiper 

 are undetermined. They probably lie to the northward of Siberia, not 

 Europe. 



A number of subscriptions expire with this No. Will those, therefore, 

 who have subscribed for the half volume please remit their renewal sub- 

 scriptions to the publishers (as above). We wish to ask our subscribers 

 also to induce all their ornithological friends who do not already take the 

 Ornithologist to either subscribe or order it from their bookseller (men- 

 tioning Elliot Stock). It is quite impossible for us to effect improvements 

 and extensions unless we receive a proper amount of support. As the only 

 monthly journal of its kind, it is surely entitled to the support of all British 

 ornithologists. Some readers have helped us much already ; will the others 

 do likewise ? 



Readers who wish to be enrolled as Foundation Members of the proposed 

 Field Ornithologists' Society are asked to submit their names to Mr. 

 Swann (Sec. pro. tern.) before August 15th, after which date (if 100 names 

 are obtained) the election of officers and Council will be proceeded with. 

 The subscription (i.e., 14s. yearly, including the Ornithologist), will be 

 payable to the Treasurer on September 29th. A good library is to be 

 formed, from which both town and country members may borrow books. A 

 general meeting would be held monthly ; members who could not attend could 

 send exhibits or papers to a friend, or to the Secretary. Field excursions 

 could be arranged at the meetings. For further particulars send a stamped 

 envelope. 



We are unable to give a portrait of the late Lord Lilford this month since 

 the additional 4 pp. of text in this No. makes up the maximum weight, and 

 prevents us from adding a plate.
