These scattered records— and no doubt others from the state could 
be added — indicate that the movement of magpies into southeastern Ne- 
braska did not. end there, but has continued pretty well across Iowa, a 
greater number of individuals having been reported during the fall and 
winter of 1921 than the sum total heretofore taken in or recorded from 
the state.

NOTES HERE AND THERE 
Conducted by the Secretary 
The Southern Manufacturers’ Association of New Orleans is dis- 
tributing an attractive “ Bird Book,” in which working plans are given 
for the making of nest boxes, food shelters, etc., out of cypress wood. 
The American Association for the Advancement of Science will hold 
a summer meeting at Salt Lake City June 22 and 24. It is expected that 
a large number of its Pacific coast section will attend. 
Prof. Thos. D. Burleigh, formerly of Pittsburgh, Pa., is now located 
at Athens, Ga., where he is Associate Professor of the Division of For- 
estry, University of Georgia. 
The state of Texas has recently leased to the National Association 
of Audubon Societies, for a period of 50 years, without cost, the six most 
important bird breeding islands along its coast. Here are represented 
extensive colonies of more than a dozen species of water birds. The 
100,000 or more birds breeding on these islands will be protected as far 
as feasible against the raids of commercial eggers and plumers. 
Mr. Edward R. Ford, formerly of Chicago, and at one time business 
manager of The Wilson Bulletin, is now located at Grand Rapids, Mich. 
Readers will note that the area covered by type on The Bulletin’s 
new page has been perceptibly increased, being made wider and three 
lines longer. Last year’s 48-page Bulletin contained 5,200 square inches 
of typed surface, while the new 64-page magazine will show 8,200, or an 
increase of 60 per cent of reading matter. 
The Secretary has recently been the recipient of pleasant visits from 
Messrs. H. A. La Prade of Atlanta, Ga.., and H. E. Wheeler of Conway, 
Ark. Both of these gentlemen are enthusiastic and accurate ornitholo- 
gists and each is a prime mover in the establishment of a museum of 
natural history in his home city for the benefit of the public. 
Our membership teams of last year did splendid work and the re- 
sult, of their efforts did much toward encouraging the officers of The 
Club in their plans for expansion. The total number of new names added 
during the year was 162, which is nearly double that of the preceding 
year. The “team” captained by Dr. Geo. R. Mayfield brought in 63 new 
members, while that of Dr. T. C. Stephens tallied 59. The Secretary
