THE OOLOGIST, 



FRANK H. LATTIN, M. D., Editor and Pubr.. 



ALBION, N. Y. June 15, 1899. 



On the following pages I offer many items of special 

 interest to the Ornithologist and Oologist and equally sd 

 to the LIVE Naturalist, Teacher and Collector, and at 

 prices which I am sure cannot be duplicated for a long 

 time, In the future I intend to devote the bulk of my 

 time and energy to my profession and as sort of a side 

 issue or hobby I shall undoubtedly continue to publish 

 the OOLOGIST and perhaps handle such books relating 

 to the Natural Sciences as may come my way. I have 

 fully $5000 locked up in my old business and during the 

 next few months MUST unload regardless of cost or 

 value. We shall continue our business at Chautauqua 

 this season and undoubtedly our exhibit at the Pittsburg 

 Exposition during September and October — personally, I 

 do not expect to be at either for more than a few days. 



We are now packing up for Chautauqua and on or 

 about July ist shall issue a list offering what material we 

 have remaining here at a ridiculously low rate. From 

 Chautauqua (between Aug. 20th and Sept. ist) we shall 

 have a big stock of Fair and Resort Goods to close out on 

 same basis, and again if at Pittsburg we shall sacrifice the 

 remainder of our stock, about Oct. 15th to 25th (ample 

 time for the Holiday trade.) The OOLOGIST as you 

 may note by inspecting either June or July issues will be 

 greatly improved and will rank as one of the indispensi- 

 bles to the up-to-date Ornithologist, Oologist, Taxider- 

 mist and Naturalist. 



If YOU are not interested will you please call the at- 

 tention of some interested friend to my plans. While I 

 need CASH above all other known commodities, I am 

 still open to ''swap" propositions if of sufficient size and 

 advantage to warrant my attention. I especially desire 

 "snaps" in any line; Natural History Books (ones relat- 

 ing to Ornithology and Oology in particular); Standard 

 Medical Books published since 1890; and anything of use 

 or value to an up-to-date Physician and Surgeon. 



Faithfully, FRANK H. LATTIN. 



In my July lists I shall offer hundreds of dollars worth of specimens in all departments and in 

 Conchology shall make some VERY SPECIAL offers in"families" and"job lots"of' -odds and ends."
