 Island. Published and edited by Reginald Heber Howe, Junior. Address, 

 Longwood, Brookline, Massachusetts.

All material for publication, advertisements, and books for review

With this issue the last volume of " Notes on Rhode Island Or- 

 nithology" is commenced. With Volume III its planned term of 

 publication expiies, and the proposed Supplement to "The Birds of 

 Rhode Island" will be published during the autumn of 1902 or 

 the winter of 1903. The Editor feels that the publication of 

 " Notes " as a stimulous to the study of Rhode Island Ornithology, 

 has been a distinct success, much valuable data having appeared 

 in its pages, and considerable interest in the birds of the State 

 evoked. He wishes to thank the supporters of " Notes " for their 

 earnest and ready aid, and asks that they send in at once all cor- 

 rections and additions in their possession for the coming Supple- 

 ment. As this is the last volume the subscribers no doubt all 

 wish to continue their subscriptions and complete their files. Un- 

 less however, their subscriptions are paid before the close of Jan- 

 uary, 1902, their names will be struck from the list. 



The Editor also has again to thank Mrs. LeRoy King, Mrs. Wil- 

 liam Gammell and Mrs. William H. Russell in the behalf of many 

 of the libraries of the State for their kindness in making it possible 

 for him to send Volume III for the current year, and thus com- 

 plete the library files.
