Now that the Oologists' harvest has 

 begun, young collectors should bear in 

 mind, that a set of eggs about which 

 there is the least question in the col- 

 lectors mind, is worthless. If you are 

 not sufficiently familiar with the bird to 

 recognize it by sight, secure the parent 

 bird, and here again mistakes are often 

 made. Be sure you get the owner of 

 the set, When this can not be done, 

 let the eggs remain to fulfill their destiny. 



A good field-glass will he found an 

 useful adjunct to the Oologists' outfit
