Bird-Lore’s Colored Plates

We have received a great many letters cordially praising the ﬁrst colored plates in BlRD-LORE'S series of illustrations of the North American Warblers, It has been quite impossible for us to acknowledge their receipt, but we assure their writers that they are none the less welcome and that we expect the remaining plates of the series will he even better than those which have already appeared.

The Audubon Calendar for 1904

The Calendar for 1904 issued by the Massachusetts Audubon Society is by far the most attractive of the series thus far prepared by this society. It ﬁgures six species of Warblers. and the reverse of each plate is oc_cupied with descriptive text.

The calendar may be procured from the Massachusetts Society at the Boston Society of Natural History.
