THE OOLOGIST 



213 



takes vastly more copy to keep The 

 Oologist moving, than the ordinary 

 person realizes. 



Next year we propose to issue The 

 Oologist for the different months so 

 far as may be, as follows: 



January, — The Eagles and Owls. 



February, — The Hawks. 



March, — provided we can secure 

 sufficient copy, will be devoted large- 

 ly to the preparation and arrange- 

 ment of ornithological and oological 

 specimens, and we especially beseech 

 you, Mr. Reader, to send us some- 

 thing along that line at an early 

 date. 



April, — The Woodpeckers. 



May, — General Ornithology. 



June, — The Warblers. 



This is as far as we have deter- 

 mined for the coming year, except 

 that later in the year we expect to 

 devote nearly an entire issue to the 

 birds of the Isle of Pines. We also 

 have two splendid illustrated articles 

 from the pen of Dr. R. W. Schufeldt 

 for use this coming year. 



We trust that during the winter 

 months, an ample supply of copy will 

 be accumulated to run The Oologist 

 largely through the coming year, and 

 this is impossible unless each of 

 those interested in its success will 

 do something along this line. 



Already our suggestion to those in- 

 terested in the welfare of this little 

 journal that they send an extra copy 

 to some of their friends as a Christ- 

 mas present or to encourage them in 

 ornithology, is bearing fruit. R. 

 Graham of Fort Worth, Texas, is the 

 leader in this work so far, but many 

 of our readers have responded nicely. 



We would suggest that each and 

 every one of our subscribers when- 

 ever writing to The Oologist would 

 include in the communication some 

 short fresh, newsy bird note, if the 

 same is only a line or two. Such a 



course would furnish us with many 

 interesting incidents, beneficial to our 

 readers. 



Do not overlook the fact that it 

 takes money to run The Oologist, and 

 that money comes from subscriptions. 

 So renew your subscription now 

 while you have it in mind, and 

 thereby please the Editor and ease 

 your own conscience. 



R. M. Barnes. 



AD WORDS. 



"My ad. produced results that were 

 more than satisfactory. 



D. I. Shepardson, Feb. 1, 1915. 

 "I received two answers from my 

 ad before I got the magazine that it 

 was first inserted in, pretty quick re-

 as an exchange medium."
