4 Joint Bulletins 4 and 5 



EDITORIAL 



Like many other organizations the Vermont Botanical Club and 

 the Vermont Bird Club were inactive during a part of 1917 and all of 

 1918 on account of the war in Europe. The epidemic which visited 

 the state made it seem best not to attempt to call together for meet- 

 ings even the few people who were not too busy with war or relief 

 work to have attended so no material was at hand for use in a bulletin 

 in 1918. 



It has been thought best to combine Joint Bulletins 4 and 5 in this 

 issue, publishing the various papers at what would have been the normal 

 time for the 1918 Bulletin. 



The clubs invite contributions of scientific or popular articles re- 

 lating to the different phases of the natural history of Vermont from 

 all persons who have the interest of the state at heart. So far only 

 the plants, the birds and the mammals of the state have bene listed. 

 It is to be hoped that some person will later catalogue the mollusks, 

 reptiles, butterflies, moths and other forms of life.
