THE OOLOGIST. 



The famous Carryl collection of birds eggs 

 has been in our possession for nearly two 

 years. The collection will be catalogued 

 in the next issue of the Oologist and 

 offered for sale as a whole or in single sets. 

 The collection consists of 450 species in 

 sets with data, ( besides hundreds of dupli- 

 cate sets.) The collection is valued at over 

 $1,600. 



We take the following from the Young 

 Oologist of Aug., 1884: 



"We have sent out 125 Yucatan Jay 

 eggs as premiums with The Youxg Oolo- 

 gist, and have no more to offer. ^Nlan}^ of 

 our friends can contiratulate themselves 

 for obtaining such a desirable and beauti- 

 ful egg at so slight an expense." 



Our Central American eggs, including 

 less than 100 of Yucatan Jay and about the 

 same number of each the other species, we 

 offer as premiums, we imported last fall 

 for the express purpose of offering to our 

 friends as premiums. Only about 500 can 

 have one of these eggs. '• First come, first 

 served." 



A Premium to Every Subscriber. — 

 The publisher of The Oologist, in order 

 to obtain a large circulation for his little 

 journal, offers the follow;ing inducements, 

 which have never been equaled by the pub- 

 lisher of any journal devoted to the inter- 

 ests of naturalists and curiosity collectors.

Our premiums are first-class in every re- 

 spect and would cost our friends, were 

 they to purchase, from 25 cents to $1.00 

 each. We will send any one of them from 

 A to V inclusive, and The Oologist one 

 year for only 50 cents. 



Our Canadian friends desiring .any pre- 

 mium excepting A. B, C, F, H and V 

 must add 5 cents extra to pay one-half the 

 postage. Premiums O to T are very de- 

 sirable Central American Eggs and are 

 generally retailed at .$1.00 each. We have 

 sold lots of them at that price. 



Natural History specimens are some- 

 thing that cannot be manufactured, and 

 must be obtained through collectors. Our 

 offer will hold good only as long as our 

 present supply lasts; therefore, to secure 

 one of the premiums, we would advise our 

 friends to send in their subscriptions hy re- 

 turn mail, as our supply is limited. 



As many collectors will desire more than 

 one of our valuable premiums they can. 

 when sending in their subscriptions, en- 

 close 25 cents for each additional premium 

 wanted, and we will forward by return 

 mail. Premiums ordered at other times 

 can be had at regular retail rates. 



Many of our friends during the next few 

 months will request us to publish The 

 Oologist more frequent and to increase 

 the number of pages. In reply the pub- 

 lisher would say that both requests were
