THE OOLOGIST. 3 



Bendire's **Life Histories of 



North American Birds," 



Recognized the world over as the most valuable addition to the literature bearing 

 on American Ornithology of the decade. The Government (its publishers) supply has 

 long been exhausted and during the past two years every copy we could secure has 

 had two or three purchasers waiting who have paid us anywhere from $7.50 to $10.00 

 per copy and considering themselves fortunate to secure them at even the latter figure. 

 We have just secured a few complete sets from an unexpected source and offer them 

 by Express at purchaser's expense at the following exceedingly liberal rates: 

 Vol. I, $9.00; Vol. II, $7.50; or both Vols. I and II for $16.00. 



FRANK H. LATTIN, ALBION, N. Y. 



Lattin's Standard Catalog of Nortti. American Birds Eggs. 



Enlarged (contains V2 pages) revised, corrected and brought up to date of going to press- 

 March, 1896. Giving all of the new A. O. U. changes and additions. Also divided and sub- 

 divided into orders, sub-orders, families, and sub-families. 



Values are based on the 1893 ones which were determined by the compiler, from invaluable 

 notes, suggestions and assistance from Major Chas. E. Bendire, J. Parker Norris, Esq., and Cap- 

 tain B. F. Goss. In addition to these notes, which have been carefully reworked, the compiler 

 has had suggestions from over Forty Leading American Oologists, all of which were care- 

 fully considered and where advisable, adopted. Lattin's Catalogue has long been recognized by 

 leading Oologists as the "Standard." The compiler intends to issue a new one as soon as this 

 edition is exhausted and desires the assistance of every working Oologist, in making values, etc. 

 On this account he has concluded to close out this edition at the following rates, postpaid (regular 

 price was 25 cents per copy.) Single copy 10 cents: 3 for 35 cents: 7 for 50 cents; 15 for Jl 00.
