Something new has been added to the many bird guides now available. 
A Guide to Bird Finding by Olin Sewall Pettingill, Jr. (659 pages) tells 
where, when and what birds may be found on a trip through any of the 
states east of the Mississippi river. With the exceptions of Delaware being 
combined with New Jersey and Rhode Island with Connecticut, a chapter 
is devoted to each state. 
An introduction to each chapter explains the physiography and plant 
associations and lists the regularly nesting birds. The cities mentioned then 
follow in alphabetical order. The chapter on Illinois covers most of the 
better known localities for bird watchers but we would like to have seen 
additional areas included, even at the sacrifice of some helpful details. 
Rockford and Peoria, two of the three largest cities in the state outside 
of Chicago, are not mentioned. 
An index listing both species and localities makes the work a real ready 
reference volume. In addition to its practical value, many bird students 
will want to own the book for the 72 charming pen and ink drawings by 
George Miksch Sutton. 
The publisher is Oxford University Press, New York; the price, $5.00. 
The Illinois Audubon Society will fill mail orders by parcel post upon 
receipt of remittance.

Visual Education 
THE SOCIETY is endeavoring to enlarge the file of 35 mm. Kodachrome 
slides of birds, which is used for visual educational purposes. 
Sharp, close-up shots of common water, land, and game birds are needed. 
Donations of slides towards this file will be gratefully received. However, if 
any person has slides of this nature to sell, they are encouraged to submit 
them on approval to the Conservation Committee Chairman, Charles W. 
Kossack, 715 Division Street, Barrington, Illinois, with the price desired. 
Anyone having an outstanding photo which he considers donating to the 
Society can have duplicate slides made for 25 cents each. The Society will 
be pleased to pay the cost of the duplication. Correspondence is invited. 
An aid in visual education which would make an ideal gift, especially 
for a school science room, is the “Yellowstone Park Portfolio” of 12, 10x14, 
black and white photos by Franz Lipp, published by Henry Regnery Co., 
Chicago 4, Illinois at $1.50. 
Six of the photos are of mammals including Antelope, Elk, Buffalo, 
Moose, Bear and Bighorn Sheep; the other six are landscapes and all are 
the product of superb photography.

Fellowships for Study in Conservation. The National Wildlife Fed- 
eration plans to establish three university fellowships for advanced study 
in conservation. Funds for this purpose will be derived from the sale of 
sheets of wildlife stamps.
