Prizes for Best Articles- 



We have decided to give our patrons,, 

 each month, five prizes. These prizes 

 are to be awarded to the five best arti- 

 cles appearing in the Oologist in which 

 the offers are made. 



For the five articles in this (Nov.) Ool- 

 ogist which are the most instructive, 

 valuable and interesting we shall give 

 as follows: 



1st prize — A Part of Maynard's Birds 

 of Eastern North America, bound in 

 boards and leather. 



2nd prize — Davie's Key to the Nests 

 and Eggs of N. A. Birds in cloth. 



3d prize — Same as 2d prize, in paper. 



4th prize— Vol. 1 C84-'85) Young Ool- 

 ogist, bound in cloth. 



5th prize— Vol. Ill and IV ('86-'87) 

 The Oologist, bound in cloth. 



For the Dec. competition we will 

 give a^imiliar set of prizes. 



The articles entering into competition 

 must contain at least one hundred 

 words and we prefer that they do not 

 exceed seven hundred words, unless 

 they fairly teem with very, very inter- 

 esting facts or happenings — Remember 

 that "fancies," "rehashes," "Sparrow 

 stories" and articles of similiar nature 

 are not solicited and will rarely be 

 found "available." 



THE JUDGES: You have been se- 

 lected to act as one of the Judges in 

 these Prize article contests, and your 

 decision must be promptly and fairly 

 given. 



Your decision for this month's com- 

 petition must be mailed us not later 

 than Dec. 10th. Write on back of a 

 postal card the articles which you have 

 decided to be the most valuable, instruc- 

 tive, and interesting in this number of 

 Oologist and mail to us. Number the 

 articles in the order which you think 

 the prizes should be awarded. 



We also give our Judges five prizes, 

 one to each of the five whose decisions 

 are nearest the final award of prizes and 

 in this months competition the Judgs 

 whose list of five articles is the nearest 

 the awarded list, we will give a copy of 

 Davie's Key to the Nest and Eggs of N. 

 A. Birds, paper. 2d and 3d each a 

 Book relating to Natural History, ele- 

 gantly bound in cloth and gilt. 4th 

 and 5th each a set of Noddy. In ease 

 of a tie, the earlist mailed list takes the 

 px-ize. Address
