BIRD LORE FOR 1901. 
Bird-Lore’s special aim during the coming year will be to assist teachers and 
students of birds by telling them just what to study and just what to teach at the 
proper season. It will, therefore, publish a series of articles, on the birds of a number 
of localities, including the vicinity of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and 
San Francisco. To these will be added ‘Suggestions for the Months’ Study’ and ‘Sug- 
gestions for the Months’ Reading.’ The whole thus forms a definite plan of study 
which, it is believed, will be of the utmost value to the instructor, to the independent 
observer, and to bird-clubs and natural history societies. In this connection much as- 
sistance will be rendered by Bird-Lore’s Advisory Council, composed of over fifty 
prominent ornithologists, residing throughout the United States and Canada, who have 
consented to respond to requests for information and advice. 
While a number of the more general articles of the year will bear on the months’ 
subject for study, there will also be contributions of wide popular interest, among the 
more important of which may be mentioned an address on Audubon, by Dr. Elliott 
Coues; letters written by Audubon in 1827; John Burroughs’ list of his rare bird visitors, 
Frank M. Chapman’s fully illustrated account of a bird-nesting expedition with the 
genial naturalist; Ernest Setou-Thompson’s ‘How to Know the Hawks and Owls’ 
(illustrated); Tudor Jenks’ ‘From an Amateur’s Point of View;’ T. S. Palmer’s ‘Ostrich 
Farming in America’ (illustrated); F. A. Lucas’ ‘Birds of Walrus Island,’ with remark- 
able illustrations; H. W. Henshaw’s ‘Impressions of Hawaiian Birds;’ C. Will Beebe’s 
illustrated account of some of the birds under his charge at the New York Zoological 
Garden, and an important paper on ‘Bird Protection in Great Britain,’ by Montagu 
Sharpe, chairman of the English Society for the Protection of Birds.
