THE OOLOGIST for 1910 will be issued regularly on the 15th day of each 

 month, and will be better than it has ever been yet, since it first saw the light 

 of day in 1884. A higher class of illustrations will be used and the best ob- 

 tainable manuscript will be published. It will be full of live, original articles 

 written by the best bird students in North America and embellished with hither- 

 to unpublished pictures of bird life taken from nature. 



It will wage a relentless war upon all persons engaged in fraudulent oology 

 or ornithology and will show up those who use its advertising columns for the 

 purpose of arranging exchanges and then fail to settle the accounts of such 

 exchanges. 



We expect during the year of 1310 to double the present subscription list 

 of THE OOLOGIST. and if so. the size of the magazine will then be increased. 

 During the coming year it will contain f^^h month at least two high class 

 illustrations and eight pages of live bird matter, making in all one hundred 

 twenty pages of the best bird literature of the day: and all for FIFTY CENTS.
