THE OOLOGIST. 



351 



I have recently purchased Mr. Rippens fine collection of Bird Eggs; 

 this is the second largest collection in Canada, and was awarded a 

 silver medal at the Toronto Exposition of 1892. 



At standard rates this collection amounts to over $1,500, but I am 

 going to offer it at one-third standard prices, or $500 cash will secure 

 one the finest collections in the continent. 



Do you realize what one-third standard prices mean? It means 

 that by purchasing this collection, you can obtain such eggs as Golden 

 Eagle at $2 per egg; Sea Eagles, 65c; Flamingo, 35c; Loon, 50c; 

 Snowy Owl, 65c; Snowflake, 17c; Ruff, yc; White Ibis, 12c; and 

 other rare eggs at one-third their value. 



Here. is a chance for some wealthy Naturalist to obtain a fine collec- 

 tion cheap, or any dealer of enterprise might easily double his invest- 

 ment, by breaking up this collection and selling it piece-meal.
