"THE AUK" :. 



A Quarterly Journal of Ornithology. $3 



a year. 75 cents a single number. Published fo r 

 The American Ornithologists Union. 



The "AUK" will present, as herefore, timely and 

 interesting papers on the subject to which it relates, 

 and its readers may feel sure of being kept abreast of 

 the advances in the science. The "AUK" is pri- 

 marily intended as a communication between orni- 

 thologists. While necessarily to some degree tech- 

 nical, it contains a fair proportion of matter of a 

 popular character. Its notices of recent literature 

 cover the whole field of North American Ornithology 

 and with the department of "General Notes" and 

 "Notes and News" render the journal indispensable 

 .to those wishing the latest and fullest intelligence of 

 the subject.
