Excerpt from The Ibis, 1882, Vol. 6: A Quarterly Journal of Ornithology The present volume completes the Fourth Series of the ibis' and the twenty-fourth of the whole work, and brings about a change in the Editorship of this Journal, such as has usually taken place at the close of each series. As arranged at the last Meeting of the Members of the British Ornithologists' Union, held in May last, Mr. Salvin now retires from the position he has held for the last twelve years, and the Fifth Series will be commenced in January next under the Editorship of Mr. Sclater and Mr. Howard Saunders.
