With this issue we become associated 
with, Dr. C. C. Purdum of Massachusetts; 
well known to our readers, by his contribu- 
tions tothis and and other magazines: 
Comment unnecessary. 
While the Oregon Naturalist will be 
conducted on the same lines as here-to- 
fore, it will readily be fore-seen that the 
connection places the Magazine upon a 
higher plane, and in the front rank of 
journals of its class. 
All mail connected with the ‘Eastern 
Department” should be sent to Dr. C. C. 
Purdum, Box 131, Woods Holl, Massa- 
chusetts. 
‘Entomological Geography”? and “A 
Rare Sight’? were written for the A. M. of 
N.- S. whose manuscript we have, the 
best of which will be published from time 
to time. ‘‘One Day With Oregon Birds” 
will be completed in three or four chapters, 
and illustrated by the author, Mr. E. S. 
Cheney, known to many ot our readers 
as an artist of ability, making a special- 
ty of bird studies. 
AY Beas 
In accepting the honor of ‘‘associate”’ 
for athriving, growing, paper like the 
Oregon Naturalist it is only correct for 
that party to sav a few trite although 
unnecessary words as to what ‘‘we are 
going todo.’”’ Inthe first place we are 
going to form an Eastern department. In 
the next we are going to make it interest- 
ing, and profitable. How canwe do this? 
Why! in one way only. By the aid of 
our Eastern observers and friends. The 
Oregon Naturalist will go to nearly every 
collector in the East, as it does in the West. 
The Eastern department will be repiete 
with ‘‘Eastern Articles’? and ‘‘Eastern 
Information,’’ and your study table will 
be incomplete without the current numbers. 
Now wake up, Eastern obeervers, and 
send in your experiences, finds, takes, or 
in fact anything which will interest the 
readers of the Oregon Na;uralist. And 
now one word to our Eastern advertisers. 
Where is the place to sell or exchange 
your specimens? The West of course. 
What is the paper which reaches the 
largest number of Western collectors? 
The Oregon Naturalist of course. Natural 
result, advertise in the Oregon Naturalist. 
“Its a good thing. Push it along.” 
Fraternally 
C. C. PURDUM.
