Field: Cards 
Members will find the Field Cards of the Audubon Society and the 
Chicago Academy of Sciences a great help in keeping their records. As 
the birds are listed according to the order followed by the check list of 
the American Ornithologists’ Union, it would aid the editor if all reports 
were submitted on such cards, with a letter giving additional data. The 
cards are available at the Audubon Society office for ten cents a dozen.
