BULLETIN 



OF THE 



BUFFALO SOCIETY OF NATURAL SCIENCES. 



VOLUME IV. 



ANNOUNCEMENT. 



The Committee on Publication takes pleasure in announcing that 

 the publication of the Bulletin of the Buffalo Society op Nat- 

 ural Sciences has been resumed by the issue of this No. i of Vol. 

 IV. The committee entertain the hope that the regular appearance 

 of successive numbers and volumes may not be again seriously in- 

 terrupted or delayed. 



The publication of memoirs, lists and descriptions, will be con- 

 tinued as heretofore; in addition, it is proposed to record more fully 

 than in previous volumes, brief notes and observations by the mem- 

 bers of the Society; it is believed that such records will not make 

 the Bulletin less valuable to Naturalists in general, but will in- 

 crease its usefulness among our own observers, and thus aid more 

 decidedly in securing the ends for which the Society was organized 

 — the progress of science, particularly the natural history of the vi- 

 cinity of Buffalo. 



The committee for the Society desire to express sincere thankful- 

 ness to the various societies and publishers whose memoirs and peri- 

 odicals have been sent regularly, while ours has not for so long time 

 appeared in exchange.
