We extend thanks to Camera Craft for the 
use of the two striking half-tones in this is- 
sue, portraying gulls on the wing. Of the 
difficult subjects with which the ornithological 
artist wrestles, none is perhaps more difficult 
than to secure detail in flying birds. The pho- 
togra])hic magazines now allot considerable 
space to ornithological subjects and we recom- 
mend to our readers dhwifrff Craft, a high- 
class photographic magazine ]uiblished at 220 
Sutter St., San Francisco. It is an acknow- 
ledgeil leader in photographic journalism and 
is well worth the subscription price of I1.50 
])er year. 
In the election of Drs. David Starr Jordan and 
Charles H. Dilbert of Stanford I'niversity to 
active membershij), the Cooper Ornithological 
Club adds to'its roster two of the leading zoolo- 
gists of the Coast. Its membershij) had ])re- 
viously included several leaders in the science 
from the two great universities of the State,— 
all of w’l ich evinces the great interest which 
centers about the Club and its scope of work. 
Club members are requested to consult freel)' 
the directory of members published in this is- 
sue, which has been carefully brought down to 
date together with addresses. Fiach member 
should learn the value of co-operation and 
should correspond or personally become ac- 
quainted with those members residing nearest 
to him. 
It is exj3ected that the index for Volume III 
will be mailed with our January issue as usual. 
Mr. R. C. McClregor, whose valued offices as 
“official indexer’’ for the two i)receding 
volumes have spared the editors that labor, is 
engaged on U. S. S. J\^thfinder, and should 
nothing prevent will complete the index in 
good season for mailing in January. 
The authors of the listof .Sierra Nevada birds 
in the present issue desire to announce that it 
was originally the intention to publish the list 
as a Pacific Coast Avifauna. This was later re- 
considered, and the list, although personally 
published, becomes a part of Thr Condor, in 
addition to which appears the regular 24 pages 
of the magazine.

try of the Territor}' of Hawaii is desirous of se- 
curing a supply of live w'oodpeckers and 
writes Mr. W. Otto Emerson as follows: “I 
am desirous -of obtaining a number of the 
downy w'Oodpeckers to be introduced here on 
the different islands. Will you kindly let me 
know where I can obtain say 100 or 200 and 
the probable cost?” Those who can assist in
