Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Avicultural Magazine, 1908, Vol. 6 Once more we have come to the close of our Society's year and to the completion of another volume of our Magazine, and we think that our members may congratulate themselves that Volume VI. of the New Series is equal to any of its predecessors. Many articles of great interest and value have appeared, and we are glad to notice amongst the contributors several who have not previously written for our journal. Seven coloured plates by Mr. Herbert Goodchild, and numerous black and white plates and text figures have been published, the illustrations being on the whole quite equal, if not superior, to those which have previously appeared in this journal. In the pages of the present volume mention is made of many species of birds which have been imported alive for the first time this year; and accounts are published of the breeding in captivity of several species which had not previously been known to rear young in the United Kingdom. We are glad to be able to report that the Society is in a sound and prosperous condition, and that the membership continues to increase in a very satisfactory manner. Our best thanks are due to those members who, by their contributions to our pages or in other ways, have helped to make the present volume a success. Especially we are indebted to Dr. A. G. Butler for very kindly undertaking the Editorship, in addition to his duties as Honorary Correspondence Secretary, during the absence from England of Mr. Seth-Smith.
