BDIEORIAL 
T WAS hoped that the present issue of the BuLLETIN might be an- 
nounced as the Spring number, and again establish the publication 
of two bulletins in one year. 
But again it has been found impossible to get it out in season, and 
the term Spring and Summer is found more appropriate. During the 
past year three of the older directors have finished their labors, notice 
of their demise being made under Obituary. 
The Memorial Fund for the perpetuation of Bird Haven, Robert 
Ridgway’s contribution to the Natural History of Illinois, seems at this 
writing to be an assured success. 
A part of the Illinois Audubon Society’s contribution to the raising 
of the fund was the making of 1000 feet of film by Norman McClintock, 
of Mr. and Mrs. Ridgway, their home grounds at Larchmound, Olney,
