Nov., t9ot. I 'FHE CONDOR 193 We extend thanks to Camera O'afl for the use of the two striking half-tone?, in this is- sue, portraying gulls on the wing. Of the difficult subjects with which the ornithological artist wrestles, none is perhaps more difficult than to sectire detail in flying birds. The pho- tographic magazines now allot considerable space to ornithological subjects and we recolu- aterid to our readers Camera Crqfi, a high- class photographic lnagazine published at 220 Sutter St., San Francisco. It is an acknow- ledged leader in photographic journalism and is well worth the subscrip(lint price of $1.50 per year. Iu the election of Drs. David Starr Jordan and Charles H. Gilbert of Stanford University to active membership, the Cooper Ornithological Club adds to its roster two of the 14ading zoolo- gists of the Coast. Its membership had pre- viously included several leaders in the science from th ? two great universities of the State,- all of which evifices the great interest which celtters about the Club and its scope of work. Club members are requestedto consult freely the directory of n?embers published in this is- sue, which has been carefully brought down to date together with addresses. Each member should learn the value of co--peration and should correspond or personally becolne ac- quainted with those members residing nearest to him. It is expected that the index for Volume Ill will be nmiled with our January issue as usual. Mr. R. C. McGregor, whose valtted offices as "official indexer" for the two preceding volumes have spared the editors that labor, is engaged on U. S. S. Pal/uSnder, and should nothing prevent will complete the index in good season for nmiling iu January. The authors of(he list of Sierra Nevada birds in the present issue desire to annouttce that it was originally the intention to publish the list as a JVacific Coasl ?h,z.'auna. This xvas later re- considered, and the list, although personally published, becomes a part of THE Co:?vOR. iu addition to which appears the regular 2? pages of the magazine.
