to have notes written at the time of observation, in order 
to eliminate all chance of error from faulty memory. 
In the case of the club's statistical record for the county, 
which is published annually in the form of an Annotated 
List, the club will continue to require satisfactory proof of 
observation, not necessarily that of the gun, and will only 
sanction such records as have been carefully investigated, 
discussed and approved by the Club as a whole. 
With this number the plan of issuing the Bulletin in 
December is abandoned, and hereafter it will appear as 
soon after December 31st as possible, and carry the desig¬ 
nation of the year which it covers.
