" I consider it a Magazine which every true ornithologist, be he ' full- 

 blooded,' or only an amateur, should have at hand; and I will endeavor 

 to extend its circulation among those of my acquaintances interested in 

 the science." 



CHAS B. WILSON, Colby University, Waterville, Maine.

NOTICES FROM THE PRESS. 



The ORNITHOLOGIST AND OOLOGIST is the title of a magazine published 

 "by Frank B. Webster, at Pawtucket, R. I., which will be of interest to 

 those interested in ornithology. Brooklyn Eagle. 



The cover is very characteristic as well as artistic, the typographical 

 execution good, and the matter of decided value to all students of natural 

 history, especially bird lovers. Worcester Daily Spy. 



All interested in birds and birds' eggs, will enjoy this magazine. The 

 Journal, Jacksonville, III. 



A specimen number was issued about December 20, 1883, and contains 

 the usual number of good articles and notes. There is, doubtless, room 

 and need for a distinctively amateur journal like this, and we cordially 

 wish it success. The Auk, January, 1884.
