     CNF TO MEET IN HALIFAX. On Saturday, November 7th the Canadian Nature Federation 
     
     will be holding an Atlantic Regional meeting in Halifax. The day-long event will 
     
     be held in Room ll4 of Dalhousie University Law School. Coordinator is Hal Mills, 
     
     a former member of the P.E.I. Natural History Society who is currently CNE Vice- 
     
     President for the Atlantic Region. The meeting will review recent CNE activities 
     
     both nationally as well as in the Atlantic Region. Regional environmental issues 
     
     will be evaluated and co-operative arrangements for working on these will be 
     
     developed between CNF and naturalists in our area. The meeting will be an excellent 
     
     opportunity for members and affiliated groups in Atlantic Canada to strengthen ' 
     
     communications with the national federation. The P.E.I. Natural History Society 
     
     is a member of the Canadian Nature Federation and many of our members also belong 
     
     individually to CNF. We hope that P.E.I. Will show strong support for this CNF 
     
     initiative to improve communications with the east, by being well represented at 
     
     the Halifax meeting. t looks now as if two or more cars may be going from the 
     
    
   
   
    
     Island, so if you are interested in pooling, contact Winnie Cairns. See you in 
     
     Halifax!

     REQUEST FOR SPECIMENS. The U.P.E.I. Biology Department, which maintains an 
     
     ornithological collection as part of its natural history museum, is continually 
     
     receiving new specimens to add to the collection. Anyone finding a dead bird 
     
     in reasonably good condition (road killed, collision with a window - whatever) 
     
     is asked to save these birds for the university collection. In time we hope to 
     
     have a complete representation of the avifauna of P.E.I. Common as well as 
     
     rarer species are all useful. Exotic species (i.e. budgies, cockatiels, finches, 
     
     etc.) are useful as well, so if a captive bird dies please save it. Please 
     
     record the date and location where the bird was found. Birds may be kept wrapped 
     
     in plastic in a freezer until they can be either left at the U.P.E.I. Biology 
     
     Department or taken to the Natural History Society meetings where I will pick 
     
     them up. Your cooperation is gratefully appreciated. .
