THE BIRD WORLD. 
(30) 
A WORD WITH THE PUBLISHER. 
HP HE splendid reception accorded by the bird- 
loving public to the first number of 11 THE 
BIRD WORLD MAGAZINE !? has more than 
satisfied the expectation of its promoter, and justified 
his belief in the need of such a publication. 
With No. 2 we start a most interesting and in¬ 
structive If serial ” from the pen of that popular ornitho¬ 
logical writer, W. P. Pycraft. Our cover this 
month, we think, will generally be conceded to be a 
distinct advance, and the cover for No. 3 is even 
still more striking. Of our frontispiece we will say 
nothing. It speaks for itself. 
By recommending this Magazine to their bird¬ 
keeping friends, readers of it will confer a great favour 
upon the Publisher. 
Advice about the ailments of birds and small sale 
or exchange advertisements of birds will be found in 
n Cage Birds,” price One Penny, from any news¬ 
agent or bookstall.
