THE OOLOGIST 



IN THE OSPREY! 



It is marvelous what the leading monthly 

 magazine of Ornithology and Oology contains 

 each month. A Loudon paper recently called 

 it the best magazine of its kind in the world. 

 No wonder the hearty suppoi't it is receiving. 



Some articles in current numbers are: 



Some birds of afkica, with photographs of 

 ostriches. Egyptian Vultures, etc.. by Prof. 

 Elloit, Chief of the Field Columbian Museum 

 Expedition to Africa. 



Birds of the polak north, with map, illus- 

 tration of Esquimaux drawing of birds, etc., 

 also giving Etquimaux bird names, etc., by 

 Geo. H. Clark of the Peary Expedition 1S93-4. 



A NATURALISTS EXPERIENCE IN CUBA With in- 

 teresting Cuban photographs by Frank M. 

 Chapman of the American Museum of Natural 

 History. 



Golden eagles, with fine photographs of a 

 large eagle's nest, by Chester Barlow the well 

 known collector of California, who has col- 

 lected many eagles. 



And many others, of the greatest interest to 

 ornithologists and oologists. 



The photographs of live birds and nests and 

 eggs from nature alone make the magazine 

 worth the $1.00 subscription.
