JOTTINGS. 



All copy for next issue mu.?t be in by 

 Dec. lOth. 



Advertisers will please note our low 

 rates. Our guaranteed circulation for 1887 

 will be 25,000 copies. 



December OoLOGTST will be sent free to 

 all new subscribers sending in their sub- 

 scriptions before Jan. 1st. 



Our terms of subscription have been 

 placed so low that we can allow our friends 

 only tive cents each for the new subscribers 

 they send us. 



Copy for January and February issue of 

 The Oologist should be in by Dec. 15th. 

 This number will have a very large circu- 

 lation, and it will pay any wide-awake 

 dealer to have his advertisement therein. 



The Oologist for 1887 and one exchange 

 notice therein for 35 cents. The same with 

 the Oologists' Hand Book. 27 cents. Or to 

 any person sending us an order of $1.00 or 

 over for anything we advertise we will send 

 the same free. 



Our paid subscription list for 1886 num- 

 bered about 1,200. We expect at least 

 1,000 of these to renew for 1887, and owing 

 to our reduced subscription rates and four 

 liberal offers, it would be an easy matter for 

 each of these old subscribers to send in two 

 new ones with their renewal. This would 

 give The 0()logist 3,000 paid subscribers, 

 and when this number is attained it wall 

 make its visits monthly instead of bi- 

 monthly. 



In regard to our display at the Chicago 

 Exposition we clip the following from the 

 Chicago Telegram of Sept. 34th : " The- 

 display of curiosities by the well-known 

 Frank H. Lattin, of Albion, Orleans county, 

 N. Y., attracted a very large number a very 

 large number of sight-seers this year. 

 Among his stock almost every kind of 

 birds' eggs, minerals, shells, natural his- 

 tory and geological specimens were observ- 

 able, his ' little brown jug ' stand coming 

 in for a fair share of amusing comment. It 

 being Mr. Lattin's intention to close out his 

 specimen department, those who take espe- 

 cial interest in such would certainly find 

 this an excellent opportunity to fill up any 

 gaps in their lists at a very trifling cost. 



In order to devote more of our time lo 

 Oology and to be able to spend at least one 

 day in the field during the season (this we 

 have been unable to do during the past 

 three years), we have decided to closje out 

 everything we have in stock, except Oolog- 

 ical specimens and supplies, at less than 

 wholesale prices. Should any of our many 

 readers wish to start iu the business we can 

 sell them a good stock for less money than 

 the same could be collected. Or the right 

 parties could more than doul)le their money 

 during 1887 by obtaining our entire stock. 

 We could take part of our pay in desirable 

 real estate or a good printing office oulfit. 

 Collectors will do well to make their selec- 

 tions early if we offer anything they can 

 use.
