Excerpt from The Ibis, 1873, Vol. 3: A Quarterly Journal of OrnithologyWhen the British Ornithologists' Union was in stituted at Cambridge in 1858, who would have ventured to prophecy that the Society and its Organ would attain such dimensions and such success? Yet our Union now comprehends ninety-four Mem bers, and our Journal has reached its 15th volume. Nor does there seem any reason why our numbers should diminish or our volumes cease to appear. Though some of our original members have (i regret to say) become rather sparing of their contributions to the ibis, ' a new generation of ornithologists is arising who show no symptoms of falling behind their predecessors, either in field-work abroad or in cabinet-work at home. To these, as well as to those of the older generation who have contributed to these pages and otherwise assisted us in our arduous undertaking, our best thanks are hereby offered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
