Davie's New Check List. 



This invaluable work will soon be ready 

 to mail our patrons, how soon we can not 

 positively say, but can positively say that 

 the work is now all in type and we think is 

 printed, ready for the binders, and we can 

 see no reason whv it should not be ready to 

 loail before July 15th, but we do not con- 

 trol its being published any more than does 

 the reader. The work will contain nearly 

 500 pages, and will guarantee that there ig 

 not an oologist in America that would take 

 many times its cost, could he not obtain 

 another. 



We trust our patrons will bear with us in 

 this extraordinary delay. We know that it 

 must be very annoying to them, but it is also 

 very annoying to us, for it is not only one 

 copy that we are waiting for, but over five 

 hundred. 



We trust that by the time the August 

 Oologist reaches its friends that we will be 

 receiving many kind words for the "New 

 Check List", for we know that the work 

 will so surprise and please our patrons 

 that they will not only write us kind words 

 in its favor, but that they will also take back 

 the unkind ones, written in regard to 

 its delay. 



Faithfully, 



Feank H. Lattin. 



ENCOURAGING SCIENCE. 



The Vermont Microscopical Association hRsJust 

 announced that a pilze of $250, given by the Wells 

 &Rlchardson Co., the well-known chemists, will 

 be paid to the first discoverer of a new dis- 

 ease germ. The wonderful discovery \ y Pro. Koch 

 of the cholera germ, as the cause of cholera, 

 stimulated great research throughout the world 

 and It Is believed this liberal prize, offered by a 

 house of such standing, will greatly assist In the 

 detection of micro-organisms that are the direct 

 cause of disease and death. All who are tntereeted 

 In the subject and the conditions of this prize , 

 should write to C. Smith Boynton, M. D., Secy of 

 the Association, Burlington, Vt.
