Bntered as second-class matter February, 1908, at the post office at Los Angeles (Hollywood 
Station), California, under Act of Congress of March 3, 879. 
Issued from the Office of The Connor, First National Bank Building, Hollywood, Cal. 
Avifauna dumber 9 is now ready for distribution. Avifauna dumber 10 is in press. 
In tlie past it has been customary for the management to send all Avi- 
faunas free to members in good standing. This worked nicely enough 
until we began to print so many that it became a serious drain upon the 
pocket-books of the few members who were called upon each time for 
donations. 
From now on we will sell p blications according to the plan given below. 
We are not going to refuse any donations even now, andi, occasionally, 
will seek them. To any one caring to make- a donation to the Avifauna 
fund, we can give assurance that it will be carefully used for the good of 
the cause and will be very much appreciated. 
We are going to adopt the following policy: 
Avifaunas will be sold to members at Onf-half The REGULAR advertised selling 
prices. 
Back volumes of Tnp Condor will be sold to Cooper Club members at 25% dis- 
count from the regular advertised selling prices. 
The proceeds of the sale of these back publications will constitute a fund for the 
printing of more Avifaunas. 
We believe this plan will work out with a fairness to all concerned, and we expect our 
Club members to complete their files of the Club’s publications while these are obtain- 
able. Some are very scarce now and will soon be out of print.
