The YotixG Oologist, Thirty ■ Two 

 Pages Monthly, at Eighty Cents 

 Per Year. — Our friends during the 

 past year have made our little monthly 

 in more than one sense of the word a suc- 

 cess, and we are certain that the larger our 

 subscription list the more interesting and 

 more valuable we can make our mimthlj. 

 Our suliscription list now outnumbers that 

 of any two other magazines devoted to our 

 hobbj' ; but we are not satisfied, and during 

 the next mouth wish to double the number 

 of names. Will our friends help us ? We 

 are willing and will do our share. During 

 the next thirty days, until July 10th, we 

 will .send The Young Oologist one year 

 for Eighty Cents. Send in your 

 subscriptions and renewals at once. We 

 are bound, during the next thirty days, to 

 add 500 names to our roll ; if we do. The 

 Young Oologist can and will be publish- 

 ed in the future at eighty cents per year, 

 makng .The Young Ooloc;ist one of the 

 lowest priced magazines published. Remit 

 80 cents at once. Tell your friends and 

 show them a copy of The Young Oolo-

Identification. — During the past few 

 years we have cheerfully attempted to iden- 

 tify all specimens our friends have sent us, 

 and this without remuneration ; but owing 

 to the fact that we are now receiving 

 packages by the dozen for this purpose, 

 and that our time is more than occupied 

 witli our regular business, in the future we 

 shall be obliged to charge our friends in 

 additifin to return postage the following 

 nominal rates: 



Single or tirst specimens, 10 cents. 



Second to tenth " 3 "each. 



Eleventh specimen and over, 2 " " 



The above rates for identifying speci- 

 mens we consider very reasonable. We 

 have spent several years in handling and 

 studying specimens of various kinds, and 

 have on hand a very large stock with which 

 comparisons can be made. We also have 

 the leading works to use as reference. The 

 advantage of having specimens properly 

 identified is invaluable to collectors. 



A few days since we received a card 

 from our express agent reading as follows: 



Dear Sir: — Recognizing the great in- 

 conveuieuce to the public heretofore attend- 

 ing the transmission of small sums of 

 money, the American Express Company 

 has organized and put in operation a Money 

 Order System, through which it offers 

 3Ioney Orders, that 



"Are ab.solutely safe against loss by theft 

 or otherwise." 



"Contain a receipt, which the remitter 

 retains." 



"If lost, money is refunded without un- 

 necessary delay." 



"Can be deposited in banks, .same as 

 checks or drafts." 



The cheapest, safest and most convenient 

 method of transmitting money by mail. 



Rates — For over %\ to .S-i, 5 cents; for 

 over |5 to iJlO, 8 cents; for over $10 to $30, 

 10 cents; for over $20 to $30, 12 cents; for 

 over S30 to $40, 1.5 cents; for over $40 to 

 $50, 20 cents. 



Believing a trial sufficient to convince 

 you of the superiority of this .system, we 

 would respectfully ask that you make your 

 remittances, and that you request remit- 

 tances be made to you (when possible) by 

 American Express Co. .MoneyO rders. 



This is one of the best and safest methods 

 of remitting money, and our patrons having 

 an office of either the American or United 

 States Express Co., can use these money 

 orders, payable at Albion, N. Y., when 

 sending money to us. 



The Knights op Audubon is promising 

 to be a great success. Owing to a slight 

 misunderstanding between the publishers 

 of the Young Oologist and Chief Secre- 

 tary Cuitis's reports come to late for publi- 

 cation this month. The following is a cir- 

 cular the Chief Secretary is sending the 

 members. 



Painted Post, May 20th, 1883. 

 My Dear Sir: — 



Thinking that perhaps you do not fully 

 understand the method of sending reports 

 to me, I will explain : Every member not 

 excepting officers, is required to hand or 

 send to the Corresponding Secretary, 

 on the first of each month, a report 

 of authentic notes and observations gath- 

 ered during the preceeding month, written 

 on one side of single sheet note paper, not
