Jfor Ceacl)tr0 anti ^tutient^ ' Bird-Lore's ' Advisory Council WITH some slight alterations and additions we reprint below the names and addresses of the ornithologists forming Bird-Lore's 'Advisory' Council,' which were first published in BiRD-LoRE for February, 1900. To those of our readers who are not familiar with objects of the Council, we may state that it was formed for the purpose of placing stu- dents in direct communication with an authority on the bird -life of the region in which they live, to whom they might appeal for information and advice in the many difficulties which beset the isolafed worker. The success of the plan during the year in which it has been in oper- ation fully equals our expectations, and from both students and members of the Council we have had very gratifying assurances of the happy results attending our efforts to bring the specialist in touch with those who appre- ciate the opportunity to avail themselves of his wider experience. It is requested that all letters of inquiry sent to members of the Council be accompanied by a stamped and addressed envelope for use in replying.
