Davie's new " Key to the Nests and Eggs 

 of North American Birds" is simply im- 

 mense. We will send it post-paid for only 

 $1.00 ; if your old "Egg Check List" is in 

 good condition we will allow you 85 cents 

 for it in exchange. 



Future issues will contain twelve pages 

 of instructive and valuable matter, and 

 eight pages of advertising. "Oar own 

 horn " will be mostly if not exclusively

Every Naturalist and Curiosity collector 

 in America should subscribe for The Oolo- 

 gist. We give more original and valuable 

 reading matter for the money than any 

 like periodical ever published. If you are 

 not interested in ornithology and oology 

 the bargains offered in our advertising col- 

 umns will more than repaj' the subscrip- 

 tion price. 



TWO RARE eggs. 



Among our Central American eggs of 

 last fall's importation we find about fifty of 

 the Groove-billed Crotophaga, worth $3.00 

 each, and forty of the new and rare Gau- 

 mer's Swift, {Ghatura Oaumeri), worth 

 any reasonable price a dealer may ask for 

 them. We think the egg was never before 

 offered by any dealer and doubt if one of 

 our thousands of readers possess a specimen 

 of this species. We have decided to give 

 one of either the above named eggs to the 

 first seventy-flve persons sending us $1.00 

 for the egg and The Oologist, one year. 

 This offer is good until March 1st only.
