BULLETIN 
OF TIIE 
Nuttall Ornithological Club: 
A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY. 
SIXTH YEAR OR 1 PUBUCATION. 
Five Annual Volumes are completed, and the Bulletin enters upon its sixth year of publica- 
tion, with every prospect of success, under the same management, with a steadily increasing 
corps of contributors and list of subscribers, showing that it meets a real want. 
This Bulletin is the only periodical publication in America devoted to 
GENERAL ORNITHOLOGY 
All the leading ornithologists of this country, and nearly all others who are actively inter- 
ested in the progress of the science, are regular contributors to its pages. 
Though intended primarily as the medium of communication between working ornitholo- 
gists, and consequently maintaining a high technical character, it aims to be entertaining as 
well as instructive, and contains a fair proportion of sufficiently popular matter to suit all those 
who are interested in Birds. It will be mainly devoted, as heretofore, to the Ornithology of 
North America. Being a general 
MAGAZINE OF ORNITHOLOGY , 
its review department promptly gives critical notices, not only of all American works and 
papers, but of the more important publications relating to Ornithology at large ; while its 
department of General Notes is rich in the experiences of the working ornithologists of this 
country. Consequently, 
THE BULLETIN IS INDISPENSABLE 
to every one wishing to keep pace with the progress of the science, and receive the Latest 
and Fullest Intelligence. 
As heretofore, the Editorial Supervision is in charge of 
MR. J. A. ALLEN. 
Assisted by PROF. S. F. BAIRD and DR. ELLIOTT COUES.

self to extend its circulation.
