BRIDLED TEEN EGGS. 



Tn April "(h) OoL( GIST, vre published the fol' 

 lowing notice: 



• Loilectoit. navins epRS of Bridled Tera that 

 they obtained direct from me. will please keep 

 the" same in their posessiou until a question 

 which has recently arisen, can be settled. 



My collector on "the Bahamas was a man of 

 experience, and old anny captain, and who. for 

 the past dozen years, has sjjentfrom six to nine 

 months annually in active field work. In '88 

 and '89 he broii'ght home froni the Bahamas 

 several skins of the Bridled Tern and a few eggs 

 which he postively identilied as coming from 

 the same species. That my collector is honest 

 in his belief in the identity of the eggs, is un- 

 (liiestioiiaWe. but one of the best, if not the 

 very best Oologists in the United States— or 

 the world for that matter— writes me that they 

 are not the eggs of the Bridled Tern. 



My t'nllector is now in Central America some- 

 where and this matter cannot be straightened 

 until his retem which is not expected until 

 July. 



Vv bile I shall refuse to fill orders for eggs of 

 this species tmtil his reliiin. 1 shi'll also reiuse 

 to redeem any of the iggs that I have sold for 

 that species during the past eighteen months 

 until the matter can be sti-aightened. Should 

 it bo decided that the eggs are genuine, or 

 should it be decided otherwise, notice will be 

 L;iven In the Ooi.ogist and I shall straighten 

 the matter to my patrons' entire satisfaction." 



The eggs have proved tt) be thtise of .some 

 other species, but we now have, however, a 

 .stock cf genuine Brldled's and (Uir patrons hav- 

 ing the spurious specimens ohfatixd directly 

 from IIS can retiirn the same and we will send » 

 genuine specimen by next mall.
