THE OSPREY is an established popular 

 monthly which has taken the highest place in 

 its field. It has unequaled opportunities for 

 securing valuable and interesting contribu- 

 tions, through its close relations with most of 

 the leading ornithologists, and all of the ac- 

 tive field naturalists, of America. An inval- 

 uable feature for a number of the issues, com- 

 pleting the present volume, will be a series of 

 J'uU page jyl'itcs reproduced from paintings by 

 Louis Agassiz Fuertes No ornithologist can 

 afford to miss these pictures by America's 

 greatest bird-painter, nor, by the way can one 

 afford to miss The Osprey. 



A DAUGHTER of the Great Audubon says: 

 The Osprey is a beautiful magazine, and we 

 all enjoy it very much. It is delightful for 

 those who, like ourselves, love the birds yet 

 are not ornitoologists (though I suppose we 

 ought to be). After our immediate tamily 

 have read and admired it, I lend it to the vil- 

 lage library, where it is eagerly sought for, 

 and I hope will interest our boys and young 

 men sufficiently to induce them to protect 

 rather than destroy the birds; eveu those who 

 do not care much for natural history are at- 

 tracted by the beautiful pictures. With every 

 wish for the success of so attractive a publica- 

 tion, I am very truly yours. M. R. Audubon.

 and eggs in sets, also tine datas for sale cheap
