THE INDEX GUIDE


Our publisher tells me that very few of our members have

up to the present purchased the Index Guide to the past numbers of

the Magazine. This Index was compiled by Dr. Hopkinson, to whom

the members owe much for the great amount of time and labour he

put into its production. It is a most valuable addition to the series

of the Magazine and is of the greatest assistance to aviculturists as

a reference guide to what has been published on any particular species.

I would especially ask our members one and all to add this useful

volume to their series of the Magazine. It can be obtained from

Messrs. Stephen Austin & Sons, Fore Street, Hertford, price 10s. 6d.

post free.

AVICULTURE, VOLUME I


The first volume of Aviculture, which was published by the Society

in 1925, dealt with the Passeres, including the majority of those species

of birds which chiefly appeal to aviculturists. The demand for this

work exceeded all expectations, and it was soon out of print. The

demand continues, and the Council has decided to publish a revised

edition, brought completely up-to-date, if sufficient applications for it

are received to justify the cost of production. An order form was circulated

with the February number, and is repeated with the present issue, and

those who would like the book are asked to sign the form forthwith (if

they have not already done so), and forward it to the publishers. Their

remittance will not be asked for until it is decided if publication is

possible, and this depends entirely upon the number of applications

received.
