Issued from the Office of The Condor, First National Bank Building, Hollywood, Cal. Avifauna Numb 9 is new ready for dist:ibuti0n. 11vifauna Number 10 is in press. In the past it has been customary. for the management to send all Avi- faunas free to members in good standing. This worked nicely enough until we began to print so many that it became a serious drain upon the pocket-books of the few members who were called upon each time for donations. From now on we will sell p blications according to the plan given below. We are not going to refuse any donations even now, and, occasionally, will seek them. To any one caring to make a donation to the Avifauna fund, we can give assurallce that it will be carefully used for the good of the cause and will be very nluch appreciated. Ve are going to adopt the following policy: Avifaunas will be sold to members at ONE-HALF THE REGULAR advertised selling prices. Back volumes of THE CONDOR will be sold to Cooper Club members at 25 dis- count froin the regular advertised selling prices. The proceeds of the sale of these back publications will constitute a fund for the printing of more Avifaunas. We believe this plan will work out with a fairness to all concerned,and we expect our Club members to complete their files of the Club's publications while these are obtain- able. Some are very scarce now and will soon be out of print. Address W.
