THE OOLOGIST 



(Of Albion, N. Y.) 



IS THE OLDEST PUBLICATION IN AMERICA. 

 Thk Oolo(;ist is the cheapest "Bird" pnbhcation 

 in the world (for only 50 cents you receive $1.00 

 worth of premiums, your selection, 25c. worth of 

 advertising and the Oologist for a whole year). 



The Oologist, has a larger paid circulation than, 

 all other "Bird" publications in America combined. 

 Thk Oologist has long been recognized the best 

 Advertising Medium in its line in the world. The 

 "Country Gentlemen" is the leading Agricultural 

 newspaper in America, and in soliciting advertising 

 for its columns, it makes its strongest hit in the fol- 

 lowinig statement: "As to quantity of ciiculation it 

 publishes many more 'Want Ads' than all other 

 papers combined. You doubtless know what a 

 • Want Ad' circulation must be and always is?'" 



From this same stand |)oint The Oologist's rank 

 among publications devoted not only to Ornithology 

 but Natural History as well, is identical to that of 

 the Country Gentlemen among agricultural publi- 

 cations. 



The Oologist has very few half-tones and contain^ 

 only IG pages each issue — one- half of which are ad. 

 vertisning. 



During the past fifteen years, (The Oologist's 

 age) many superior "Bird" publications and scores 

 of inferior ones have dropped by the way. The 

 Oologist, however, is still issued each month and 

 a sample copy of a recent issue can always be 

 obtained by addressing a postal to

The Bulletin of the Cooper Ornithological Club of Ca i- 

 fornia is published bi-montbly: contains from 10 to 

 20 pages of intensely interesting Western matter, 

 illustrated as required. All the newsy events la 

 Ornithology from the Great West appear in its col- 

 umns and every Ornithologist will want it. The 

 only distinctly Western paper published, in whlchi 

 California alone is represented by over 80 active 

 field workers. The Cooper Ornithological Club ha.* 

 published the first known nesting of the Westera 

 Evening Grosbeak, besides contributions nearly as. 

 valuable on the Hermit Warbler, California Pygmy 

 Owl, California Vulture, etc. Can you afford to 

 miss its future transactions?

 lovers of Birds, 



The Plant World 



is doing for lov^ers of Botany. You cannot thoroughly 

 enjoy Nature without both. The best Botanists write for 

 The Plant World, and while the articles are strictly scien-
