After a few years of apparent sleep, the Michigan Ornithological Club 

 has again become active, and likewise its Bulletin, which discontinued pub- 

 lication (with Volume III., No. 2) April, 1899, leaving No. 3 and 4 un- 

 published, has taken on a new lease of life and again appears as the regular 

 record of the club. 



Inexperience on the part of the editor-in-chief and tardiness on the 

 part of some of its contributors has delayed the first number of Volume IV. 

 much later than was at first anticipated. However, the Bulletin wishes to 

 thank its friends for the deep interest which they have taken in its progress, 

 and especially to the many non-state ornithologists, who have helped in the 

 work. From now on we hope to get the Bulletin out on time, and improve 

 from issue to issue as funds allow. 



The Bulletin, as the organ of the Michigan Ornithological Club, will be 

 devoted to the ornithology of the Great Lakes Region. It is not a financial 

 enterprise, but again appears as a co-worker to the number of already 

 existing bird-publications. 



The Bulletin would impress upon the members that it is their publication
