HEAR ye: Hear Ye: Hear Ye: This is to 

 certify that my advertisements in the Oolo- 

 gist have paid me better than have the com- 

 bined ads. in most of the amateur and natural 

 science papers. Ads. in the Oologist always 

 bring returns, and it is safe to say that there is 

 no paper having three times the circulation of 

 this widespread periodical which can give 

 equal satisfaction. MORRIS GIBBS, M. D.,
