The Nuttall Ornithological Club wishes to announce 



that, owing to the demand for sets of its Bulletin, it has found it necessary to replace two early 

 numbers of the original edition. By a photographic process a reproduction in perfect facsimile at 

 these numbers has been obtained, and the frontispiece of Vol. I, No. i (a colored plate of Helmin^ 

 ihophila leitcobronchialis from a drawing by Mr. Robert Ridgway) has been reprinted from the 

 original steel plate, and carefully colored by hand. With these exact reproductions of the missing 

 numbers, together with copies remaining of the original edition of the other numbers, the Club is 

 now able to offer 39 complete sets (Vols. I-VIII, 1876-1SS3) of the Bulletin at $20.00 each. When 

 these are sold, so many others of the early nimbers will be exhausted that it will be out of thr> ques- 

 tion ever again to supply complete sets. 



A few single copies of Vol. I, No. i, and Vol. 11, No. i, can be had at $1.50 and $1.00 re 

 spectively, and several copies (hand-colored) of the plate o^ Helmiiithophila leucobronchialis vA 

 50 cts. 



It may be worth while to mention, for those who care to possess the actual originals of this 

 now rare journal, that there remain three sets which will be sold at $30.00 each.
