SPECIAL N0TICP:.-I have decided to 

 partially reduce my large collection of eggs 

 and am prepared to negotiate with those 

 having perfectly prepared bird skins. In 

 starting this collection of bird skins I shall 

 exercise just as much care as I have in ac- 

 cumulating birds' eggs, and those who have 

 dealt with me know that I am extremely 

 particular in this respect. I would like to 

 hear from all tho'e who have any bird skins 

 to offer. Nothing exceeding eight inches in 

 length is desired. I particularly want males 

 of the various woodpeckers, starlings and 

 buntings. G. A. ABBOTT. 1543 E. 61st Street.

Having completed my collection of N. A. 

 Warbler's eggs, I have uo^ decided to pro- 

 cure a perfect skin of each species, male only, 

 in full plumage. I will i-'ive exceptional 

 value for these, esi ecially t he « estern forms.
