RALEIGH-WAKE COUNTY SPECIAL EDITION

Robert J. Hader's "Species List of Birds of Wake County, N.C." is a very important paper summarizing the work of many bird students, particularly H.H. and C.S. Brimley, and pointing out the changes in bird life that have taken place since the Brimley brothers began keeping records in the early 1880s. Publication of this paper in one issue made it necessary to omit one regular department and to shorten most of the others. The Spring Count, complete with table, will appear in the December Chat.

We are particularly grateful to John Henry Dick for the pen and ink drawings that make this special edition unusually beautiful. The map on page 73 was prepared by Fred L. Johns.
