I have accepted a commission as Lieutenant, , for some ivork which will involve my absence from England, I must, with yreat regret, temporarily relinciuish the editorship of British Birds. the Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain has very kindly agreed to act as editor in my absence, and Dr. N. F. Ticehurst will give him as much assistance IS his present heavy duties will allow. I need hardly assert that in leaving the conduct of the Magazine in such capable hands, I have iihe utmost confidence that the standard of accuracy and scientific v^alue at which we have always aimed will not in any way be relaxed. All MSS. for publication, and all correspondence relating to Editorial questions, should be addressed in future to the Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain, Appleton Rectory, near Abingdon, Berks, and it is particularly requested that such matters only should be addressed JO Mr. Jourdain. Correspondence on all other mat
