Notice.
The compilation committee appointed at the First Annual Congress of the
I. O. A. has begun work and expects, by the time of the Second Congress,
to be held next summer, to make a good showing on a report which is to
be, if possible, a complete “Annotated List of the Birds of Iowa.” In
order to make this list as comprehensive as possible, it is earnestly
requested that every member send to the chairman of the compilation
committee a marked check list showing every species on which he can
furnish original, authentic Iowa notes. These lists will be examined and
whenever a species is noted on which the report of the committee is
lacking, incomplete or unsatisfactory, the notes on that species will be
sent for. The marked check lists should all be in the hands of the
undersigned before May 31, 1896. This early notice is given in order
that members may observe, with especial caution, during the spring of
’96, for fresh and valuable notes. These notes should bear particularly
on the food, breeding habits, abundance of individuals, economic value,
and migrations.
Fraternally,
Chas. R. Keyes,
Chairman Com.
Address until May 31st, Blairstown, Iowa.
