JULY AND AUGUST, 1903. 



The first number of this journal con- 

 sisted of an edition of iooo copies. Num- 

 ber 2 consisted of 2000 copies ; and of this, 

 July-August issue, Number 3, 3000 copies 

 are issued and the major portion of them 

 circulated. Less than 100 copies of num- 

 bers 1 and 2 remain. To those of our 

 readers, excepting personal friends, that 

 have received nos. 1 and 2 and also this 

 issue but have not as yet subscribed, or 

 acknowledged receipt of The Atlantic 

 Slope Naturalist, we are compelled to 

 state that this is the last issue they will 

 receive until their subscriptions are forth- 

 coming. By this it must not be inferred 

 that our circulation will suffer for such is 

 not the case, we will merely change our 

 field of operation by sending to other 

 addresses, of which we have an abundant 

 supply. 



We are under obligations to Mr. 

 Thomas H. Jackson, of West Chester, 

 Pa., for a very beautiful photograph of 

 the nest and eggs of the Worm-eating 

 Warbler ( Helmitherus vermivorus) which 

 he secured on June 6th, 1903. 



The election of Dr. Charles M. Thomas 

 as Dean of the Hahnemann Medical Col- 

 lege of Philadelphia must be exceed- 

 ingly gratifying to all of the graduates 

 and friends of that institution. The 

 esteem, confidence, and loyalty that was 

 possessed by the late Dr. A. R. Thomas, 

 who shed unequalled lustre on the posi- 

 tion as Dean from the year 1874 until 

 his decease in 1895, become, not through 

 relationship, but through ability, the por- 

 tion of his distinguished son, Dr. Charles 

 M. Thomas. 



Dr. Charles E. Bessey, the distinguished 

 Professor of Botany in the University of 

 Nebraska has gone to Europe, where he 

 expects to remain until October. The 

 major portion of his time will be spent in 

 various portions of Russia. It is hardly 

 necessary to state that, in common with 

 his many thousands of friends, students 

 and readers, The Atlantic Slope Nat- 

 uralist wishes him a most pleasant and 

 profitable sojourn. 



The Michigan Ornithological Club has 

 again become an active organization. Its 

 journal, the Bulletin of the Michigan 

 Ornithological Club for March, 1903, in- 

 dicates the prosperity of this organization. 

 The wonder is, not in the fact that this 

 club is active, but, that it should ever 

 have been otherwise with such ornitholo- 

 gists as the state of Michigan has at its 

 disposal. 



Please note the change in our subscrip- 

 tion price. If the reader of this note is 

 not a subscriber and desires a complete 

 file of the journal it would be well for the 

 subscription to be sent at once as our 

 supply of Nos. 1 and 2 is very low and 

 without doubt will soon be exhausted. 



We are very grateful to Prof. Conway 

 MacMillan, the State Botanist of Minne- 

 sota, for Minnesota Botanical Studies, 

 Third Series, Part 1, March 21, 1903, 

 issued under the auspices of the Geologi- 

 cal and Natural History Survey of Min- 

 nesota.
