Excerpt from Bird Notes, Vol. 7: The Journal of the Foreign Bird Club, for the Study of All Species of Birds in Freedom and Captivity

With this issue Vol. VII is completed. During the year the war has raged, but in spite of the arduous and pre-occupied times, a high standard has been maintained. Members will, I think, agree that 1916 compares favourably with former years.

When the next roll appears many names will be missing of those who have given their lives for King and Country.

The Council wish to thank all who have contributed to the success of the past year, either by writing articles, generous donations to the Illustration Fund, or by introducing new members, and trust that many more will so assist during 1917. The Honorary Editors task has been a heavy one, and lie deserves all the help you can give.

May we remind members that the prompt payment of subscriptions will greatly help the Honorary Secretary, whose spare time to give to the work is very limited indeed, owing to the war.

Twenty-nine new members have been added during the year, and if all members will do a little (what they can), the coming year should be as. if not more so, successful as the past.
