The followiug from F. Wavue & Co,, 

 Publishers, New York, under date of 

 July 10th is self-explanatory: "As the 

 delay in printing the Royal Natural 

 History was greater than anticipated, 

 and we are thus carried into the heated 

 term, when the absence of so luauy 

 from their homes, added to the more 

 tlian tisual dullness of the summer sea- 

 son, renders it unadvisable to issue a 

 work of this natura, we have deter- 

 mined to postpone the publication of 

 No. 1 tintil September 1st, to l)e follow- 

 ed at regular monthly intervals by the 

 other numbers as announced." 



Among the "Boys" who have drop- 

 ped in during the past few weeks we 

 are pleased to record Neil F. Posson, 

 Ye Old Associate Editor of the Oolo- 

 gist, now of Batavia, N. Y.; Geo. F. 

 Gueif, the popular taxidermist of 

 Brockport, N. Y.; James DeLaney, the 

 well known Couchologist of Ward's 

 Natural Science Establishment, and A. 

 W. Baylis, a young banker whose name 

 is familiar to our readers, from Cedar 

 Rapids, Iowa. Mr. B. caught us right 

 in the midst of dissolution and persist- 

 ed in "kodaking" us just as we were — 

 the result will certainly prove of orni- 

 thological value and Friend B. will un- 

 doubtedly label it "A Queer Pair." 



Fred D. Snyder and Kirk B. Mathes, 

 whose names and faces are familiar 

 ones to many readers of the Oologist, 

 and who have been with "Lattin" for 

 the past live or six years are looking 

 after L's interests at Chautauqua this 

 season aud later will take charge of 

 some of his extensive exhibits at the 

 greater of our Fairs and Expositions. 



The readers of the Oologist will note 

 the "Dissolution Notice" which appears 

 on another page — this might perhaps be 

 more appropriately termed a"divis- 

 ion" notice— as Mr. Webb takes our 

 entire stock of Eggs, Skins, Minerals, In- 

 struments and Supplies, and a general 

 assortment of Specimens and Curiosi- 

 ties. The undersigned retains the Oo- 

 LOGiST,the stores and stock at Chautau- 

 qua, and a wholesale stock of Shells^ 

 Curios and Resort Goods. In the fu- 

 ture Mr. Webb will cater for a general 

 ti ade and endeavor to corral every un- 

 protected collector who is (unjfortunate 

 enougli to possess a specimen of the 

 Almighty Dollar, and as he knows the 

 value of the Oologist as an advertising 

 medium his many friends, among its 

 I'eaders, cau rest assured, from his 

 announcements, from time to time, that
