When tirst estahlislied, tlic Society, ihen 
under the titU'. of'* American Bird-t^jr^' So- 
cietv." had hut feehle support, altlion^rli 
Mv.A. A. Whitley nmua.ired the de|)artuuMil: 
with considerahie skill in the Atmth'ur A(/'\ 
a snuili montldy paper cenlnitun.ir an oruitli- 
olo^dcal department; and we have no douhl 
hut that it wouhl have been a success iu 
time, had it not have lieeu tor the nnlirue- 
Ij suspension of the i>aper. Witli tin' ci-s- 
HHtion of the A;/'\ the Society went into e- 
terinty, havin^^ hut just conmu'Uced a pi-mn- 
isiuLT career. We conceived the idea, npon 
the su^^*,^estiou of two or three fornu'r nu'm- 
bers, to initiate a department, and re-es- 
tablish the fallen society, whicii we ha\e 
succeeded in doin^. with an issue thai was 
a jrn-at benefit to tlu' oolojrieal world. 
OCow. with an Association nund)enu<i 
ncarlv lifteen members, we hope to make 
a mark that will honor ourselves and do 
lionor to others, at the same time a<'(iuirin;^ 
new mend>ers. and niiikin;; such laws as 
will promote the easy course of tlu' Society.
