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.
