I think the members will agree that the high standard which our Hon. Editor has reached in the past has been fully maintained during 1921. Several letters have reached me asking when the coloured plates will be restarted and also if the articles could be more varied. In the case of the former, coloured reproductions are still very expensive, and the committee do not consider they are entitled to run into too much expense unless the Illustration Fund is better supported. With regard to the latter I repeat my remarks of last year. If members would only try and send in copy to our Editor, who is always willing to receive it, ac- counts of their birds and what takes place in their aviaries, a greater variety of articles would appear and also greatly lessen the burden laid on Mr. Page of writing so many articles. I must again ask some of our Members to take note that the yearly subscription is due January ist each year, and not de- lay payment until the year has nearly gone. Some I am sorry to say are still in arrears, although I have made personal applica- tion for same to them. Let every member during the New Year resolve to do three things—pay subscriptions promptly, introduce a new member, and endeavour to write one article for their Club Journal. If this is done there is no reason why Birp Notes should not only hold its own amongst Foreign Bird Magazines but at- tain such a position that it can proudly and fully say: We lead, let those who like follow.
