NOTICES TO MEMBERS. 
Subscriptions: We have sent tliis issue to nil niembers, whether 
their subscriptions have been paid to the Hon. Treasurer or otherwise. May 
we ask that these may be prouiptly sent in, .so as to prevent any unnecessary 
drain on the time of the Honorary Officers or the funds of the Club. 
The Magazine: This issue ushers in another Volume, and if this 
is to equal or surpass its predecessors, such can only be possible by the co- 
operation df all. Copy must be sent freely. We wish to be very clear upon 
one point : the Magazine will not meet the needs of all if only rare Vjirdsand 
aviaries are dealt with ; if we are to be really comprehensive the following 
subjects must all have a place in its pages: — 
British Birds-Foreign Birds, common freely imported and rare 
species — Out-door Aviaries — Cages and Blrdrooms — 
in fact every aspect of AVICULTURE must be dealt with, if the need of our 
increasing and varied membership is to be met, and the tyro as well as the 
experienced aviculturist find pleasure, assistance and interest in the pages 
of the Club Jonrnal. We want an increased number of conlril)ntors, and in 
this connection we wish to emphasise that — nothitio is trivial — tiothino is 
common — more, uiany records are annually lost to aviculture owing to many 
assuming that their facts are too common and too well known. We desire 
to urge upon all members to keep a book of records and to let their fellow 
members have the benefit of it from time to time through the pages of the 
Magazine. 
We are in want of copy for April i.ssue ; will some of our members 
who keep their birds in cages and have met with partial or full success in 
the keeping or 1)reediiig of their avian captives send us accounts of same.^ 
Such papers would be novel, very practical and intensely interesting, and we 
especially urge uiembers with such experience to send us articles as above. 
May we ask that all who have had partial or full success with the 
breeding of Waxbills during 1908 to send us in accounts of same 
We should like to see Correspondence a more prominent feature ol 
the Magazine. 
We liave this month inaugurated our long promised innovation — 
Bird Notes from Far and Near — and we hope this will increase in interest 
and usefulness month by month. The idea is to embody items of Foreign 
and European aviculture under this heading, culling same from the foreign 
press and per members and members' friends residing abroad. 
We ask for and feel assured of the hearty co-operation of all, 
Wesley T. Page. 
Hon. Editorial Secretary.
