_J. A. Allen ..THE AUK.. _F. M. Chapman Editor_ Assoc. Editor_
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGISTS' UNION.
As the official organ of the Union, 'The Auk' is the leading ornithological publication of this country. Each number contains about 100 pages of text, a handsomely colored plate, and other illustrations. The principal articles are by recognized authorities, and are of both a scientific and popular nature. The department of 'General Notes' gives brief records of new and interesting facts concerning birds, contributed by observers from throughout the United States and Canada. Recent ornithological literature is reviewed at length, and news items are commented upon by the editors. 'The Auk' is thus indispensable to those who would be kept informed of the advance made in the study of birds, either in the museum or in the field.
