Illustration Fund. At the present time we have the opportunity 
of securing photos of Foreig'n Birds, nests and eggs, young being 
fed, etc. (from life) in their native wilds, some of which we hope 
will appear in a near issue — it would be very regrettable if we ha4 
to let the opportunity slip' by, also of availing ourselves fully of Mr. 
Willfoi'd's generous oflfer. We would remind members that there are 
no paid officials, working expenses are low, and that they thems 
selves are the sole beneflcaries of the fund. 
New Members: We would point out there is no time like 
the beginning of a fresh club year to secure these, and Wie are 
assured that, if each member made the F.B.C. known to all their 
friends who ,are interested in birds, or send their names to either the 
Hon. Editor or Bus. Sec, who would send them particulars of the 
club and specimen of the Maga^zine, a large influx of members would 
be the result. We urge this upon the consideration of all.
