BULLETIN 
OF THE 
Nuttall Ornithological Club: 
>4 QUARTER L Y JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY. 
This Journal (now in i^s second volume) forms at present the only serial publication 
in America devoted to 
GENERAL ORNITHOLOG7. 
While it is intended to serve primarily as a medium of communication between working 
ornithologists, it also contains matter of a sufficiently popular character to interest all who 
take an interest in the general subject of which it treats. Although devoted mainly to the 
ornithology of North America, it is intended to be so far general in its character as to give 
notices of all the more important works or memoirs relating to Exotic Ornithology. 
THE LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS 
to its pages already embraces nearly all of the leading ornithologists of the country. 
Among them are 
Dr. Elliott Coues, 
Mr. George N. Lawrence, 
Dr. T. M. Brewer, 
Dr. T. Hale Streets, 
Mr. H. W. Henshaw, 
Mr. Wm. Brewster, 
Capt. Charles Bendire, U. S. A., 
Dr. J. C. Merrill, 
Dr. J. G. Cooper, 
Mr. E. VV. Nelson, 
and numerous others more or less well known to ornithological readers. 
Its Editorial Supervision is in charge of 
MR. J. A. ALLEN, 
Assisted by PROF. S. F. BAIRD and DR. ELLIOTT COUES. 
Although published by the Nuttall Ornithological Club of Cambridge, Mass , it is 
not ia any narrow sense' the organ of any section. Being conducted as 
A MAGAZINE OF ORNITHOLOGY, 
its department for reviews of the current ornithological literatui’e gives prompt notices of all 
papers relating to Noi'th American ornithology, and of all the more important special works 
and memoirs relating to the ornithology of other portions of the world ; while its department 
of “ General Notes ” is rich in notices of I’are and little-known species of American birds. 
It is hence indispensab’e to any one wishing to keep pace with the rapid advance of orni- 
thology in this country, since it contains the latest and fullest intelligence relating to the 
general subject of North American Ornithology.
