With this issue of " Notes on Rhode Island Ornithology " the 

 publication will cease as has already been announced. The paper 

 has lived its appointed life of three years, spanning the time from 

 the publication of "The Birds of Rhode Island" in 1899 to the 

 prospected Supplement's appearance to that work the coming 

 year. That "Notes" has accomplished a purpose is attested by 

 its forty-eight pages of items of real interest to Rhode Island 

 and even Atlantic coast ornithologists. The hearty thanks of the 

 editor is extended to all those who have helped in making " Notes " 

 a useful medium, and he trusts a success. 



The manuscript of the Supplement is now well under way and 

 its issue during the coming spring practically assured. Those 

 interested in the completeness of the proposed additions ask 

 earnestly that all records, corrections and data be submitted with- 

 out delay to the Editor of this paper. 



Address all further communications to Reginald Heber Howe, 

 Junior, Middlesex School^ Cojicord, Massachusetts.
