We presume that all of our oological, 

 ornithological, and taxidermal friends 

 keep their instruments thoroughly Gun- 

 oleumed when not in use. If not, why 

 not? 



25th would be a most appropriate date 

 to remember its Publisher not only with 

 a renewal but with the new subscription 

 of some interested friend. 



Chas. K. Reed writes us that he is 

 having the best seasons work he ever 

 experienced — Four or live Deer heads, 

 a Moose head or two and orders for half 

 a dozen of those famous Bird Pieces 

 under his patent Oval Convex Glass 

 Shades, in addition to regular work, is- 

 only a fair example of an ordinary days- 

 business. 



During the past few months the Pub- 

 lisher of the Oologist has been the re- 

 cipient of many flattering notices from 

 the press of this country — of recent date 

 the '-Farmer's Monthy," and "The Nid- 

 iologist" have dilated on the subject and 

 even the new '"Museum" tenderly re- 

 fers to him as "the old concern." Thank 

 you brethren. 



Once more we are called upon to er- 

 ase the name of a bright and enthusias- 

 tic young naturalist from the subscrip- 

 tion books of the Oologist— On Aug. 13 

 Leon Wasson died of typhoid fever at 

 the home of his father, Waveland, 

 Ind. 



What wasyour rarest, or most interest- 

 ing take of '94? Also, have you any wrink- 

 le or contrivance, not generally known, 

 that might be of value to some fellow- 

 collector? Your account or description 

 must be written briefly {must not exceed 

 100 words) on a postal and mailed the 

 Editor of the Oologist, on or before 

 Jan. 15th. A Standard Catalogue will 

 be mailed each writer and the three of 

 greatest value will receive $1.00 each, 

 cash. 



Hundreds of subscriptions to Oolog- 

 ist expire with this issue, about Dec. 



We have critically examined "collec- 

 tions" of all kinds, sizes and prices but 

 can honestly say that for the money 

 we have never seen anything in the line
