THE OOLOGIST. 



"Would say my ad. in Oologist for un- 

 mounted sea mosses has brought me specimens 

 enough to cover a surface 12 ft. square. I 

 think the Oologist is the best advertising 

 medium for collectors in America." WM. 

 CUDNEY, Gait, Ont. 



BELGIAN HARES.— Employed persons may 

 make money raising them. Pleasant, profit- 

 able and requires but little time, money or 

 space. Let me start you. R. A. POWELL, 135

I send you today some ads for your excellent 

 paper. I must say that ads in your paper al- 

 ways pay.— CHRIS P. FORGE, Carman, Mani- 

 toba. 



HEAR YE ! Hear Ye ! Hear Ye 1 This is to 

 certify that my advertisements in the Oolo- 

 gist have paid me better than have the com- 

 bined ads. in most of the amateur and natural 

 science papers. Ads. in the Oologist always 

 bring returns, and it is safe to say that there is 

 no paper having three times the circulation of 

 this widespread periodical which can give 

 equal satisfaction. MORRIS GIBBS, M. D.,
