JOTTINGS. 



SPECIAL NOTICE. — We have 

 moved our mail business to Albion, N. 

 Y , 3 miles from Gaines, and henceforth 

 all communications should be addressed 

 us at that place. 



We have a fine .sccond-hanil copy of 

 C'jue's Key, First edition, bound in moroc- 

 co. We will forward this copy prepaid to 

 the first person sending us .|;.5.00. 



Davies' Egg Check List is coming into 

 greater demand daily. Friend D. has al- 

 ready disposed of the first edition. We 

 have about one hundred copies left. Order 

 if you want one. The second edition will 

 be changed in make-up, &c. 



We have in press a large illustrated cat- 

 alogue of 'everything." We intended to 

 run this out before the June Y. 0., but 

 finding we could not, have been obliged to 

 run in the Y. O. a little late. 



Owing to the fact that we are now offer- 

 ing the Y. O. for eighty cents per year, 

 we will send our friends, who have so 

 kindly sent us $1.00, twenty-five cents 

 worth of anything we advertise. 



Exchange — We cannot take specimens 

 in pay for The Young Oologist, or for 

 supplies of any kind. In the future we 

 cannot make exchanges unless especially 

 advantageous to ourselves. Small ex- 

 changes amounting to less than S.5.00 are 

 not solicited. 



We are bound to obtMn .500 new sub- 

 scribers within the next thirty days, and to 

 help obtain this number we -nail give The 

 Young Oologist one year free to every 

 person sending us an order amounting to 

 12.00 for Bird's Eggs at regular prices, or 

 $3.00 for anything we offer for sale. 



One of our most pleasant surprises dur- 

 ing the past month was the receipt of Davis 

 & Baker's New Directory. The boys put 

 their shoulders to the wheel and have made 

 It a big success. Several collectors have 

 already written us saying it's worth three 

 times the low price they paid for the same. 



Mr. C. H. Wilder of Wayland, N. Y., 

 is an enthusiastic student of reptiles — es- 

 pecially snakes. Our readers having any 

 notes or observations in that line will please 

 forward to him ; he will doubtless arrange 

 them in shape for The Yodng Ooi,ogist. 



" Thou Shalt not steal" says the Book of 

 Books, The foUowmg letter is self ex. 

 planatory. In the future we trust our 

 friends will be Jionest enough when sending 

 us eopkd articles to state plainly the 

 WTiter and the source from whence ob- 

 tained. 

 F. H. Lattin: 



Dear Sir: — I send by this mail a copy 

 of the Touno Scientist of date April, 1883. 

 By turning to page 116 you will find a 

 paper entitled "Our Birds." Will you 

 please compare with " Study of Birds " in 

 the March Young OOlogist ? I will only 

 say that tlie writers are not identical, and 

 will leave you to draw the inference. 

 Sincerely, 



C. H. Wilder, 



Wayland, N. Y.
