Bird lore - Project Puffin

The Audubon Societies 20I
Observation of bird-life in any part of the world is attractive, but on a continental island
like Australia, occur some species not found elsewhere, unless, in exceptional cases in
remote ages of the past. An exchange bureau of observations between America and Aus-
tralia is a fine idea. How many of our readers will volunteer exchange observations?

[By referring to Bird-Lore, Vol. XVIII, No. i, page 48, a picture of the herb-garden
described above will be found. Master Wetherbee adds:
"I am writing to thank you for sending me the copy of Bird-Lore. I was very much
pleased with it. I inclose list of herbs and their uses. I planted them out the twentieth
of May, and harvested them around the last of September."—A. H. W.]
