_Dear Sir_:--In the June issue of your magazine there appeared an
alleged abstract from a lecture by me on the "Structure and Habits
of Birds," which so abounds in errors that I beg you will permit
me to state that the matter published was a newspaper report, for
which I am in no way responsible. Yours respectfully,
FRANK M. CHAPMAN.
