In Sever 11, this evening Mr. Montague Chamberlain will speak on "The Songbirds of New England." There seems to be a current impression that we have no song-birds worthy of notice in the United States and Mr. Chamberlain will devote himself to disproving this. He has made a careful study of both European and American birds and is eminently qualified to deal with the subject. The lecture has been written to suit a popular audience, and, as far as possible, all technical matters have been left out.

It will not be a poetical treatment of the matter in hand but, as Mr. Chamberlain expressed it, "just a little talk about birds."
