194 THE ORNITHOLOGIST. 



The Nidologist, Vol. iii. , No. 13, September, 1896. H. R. Taylor, Editor. 



The Birds of the Lower Brent Valley, by Robert H. Read, M.B.O.U. 



Reprinted from Reports and Transactions of Ealing Nat. Sc. Soc. for 1896. 



Errata. — Page 151, line 10, for "zoophytes" read " polyzoa." We 

 omitted to state in our last issue that Mr. Godfrey's " In Quest of the 

 Erne" was reproduced from Science Gossip. The publishers have taken 

 exception to the reproduction, but we have yet to learn that the copyright 

 of an article which is supplied gratis belongs to other than the author of the 

 article. 



TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



All communications respecting this magazine must be sent to H. K. Swann, 

 10, Harrington Street, London, N.W. 



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

T. L. J., Carlisle. — We regret to say that Dr. Gunning was forced to 

 abandon the Exchange Club, and return specimens to their owners through 

 an insufficient number of members having come forward. Dr. Gunning went 

 to some trouble over his thankless task, entirely with a disinterested wish to 

 benefit those of our readers who are collectors. We believe he has written 

 to you. 



W. M. P., Newcastle. — The Editor is obliged for your letter of 

 October 28, but is not now able to deal with the matter. 



B. W. M., Hampstead. — List of local bird names received with thanks. 

 Will you oblige by mentioning the title of Sir John Hill's book. 



G. W. M., Milnthorpe. — Received with thanks. The Editor has been 

 too busy to write to you.
