THE OOLOGIST. 



"You might as. well be out of the Bird World al- 

 together as go without THE OSPREY." 



THR OSPRRY, 



An Illustrated Monthly Magazine of 



Popular Ornithology. 



Edited by Theodore Gill, in Co-op- 

 eration with Robert Ridgway. L. 

 Stejneger, C. W. Richmond and

The Ospkey does not keep a poet, 

 but it has an office cat who can catch 

 more birds than all the poets put to- 

 gether. If you don't believe this, read 

 The Ospkey. If you want to buy, sell 

 or exchange specimens, advertise in 

 The Ospbey. If you want to keep in 

 with other Bird Men, subscribe for The 

 OsPREY. If you want to write about 

 Birds, you can do it in The Ospkey, 

 provided you know how to write. If 

 you like a beautifully printed.and pro- 

 fusely illustrated magazine, all about 

 Birds you must have The Ospkey.

BOOKS 



I have thousands of volumes relating 

 to Natural History. In case I've offered 

 anything during the past year which 

 you can use please favor me with list 

 of wants and allow me to quote "SPEC- 

 IAL" prices. All must be sold. 



Your attention is particularly called 

 to my Book Lists in the June-July and 

 October (pages 142-143) 1899 Oologists. 



If I've anything left which you want 

 or can use I would be pleased to be in- 

 formed of the fact and will endeavor to 

 see that the matter of "pn'ce" will not 

 be a barrier in making a transfer.

Have you tried my 

 process of Rapid 

 Taxidermy? 



If not you will be gratified by a big surprise. 

 There is money to be made by the preservation 

 of specimens for the market or the school, par- 

 lor, ot&ce and den. Any boy, girl or sportsman 

 may learn this method at the first attempt, and 

 decorate the trophies and birds of the neigh- 

 borhood. The cost is next to nothing, and 

 when several go in and work together, there is 

 no cost. You may make money in any town 

 or the country. 



On receipt of $i.oo cash or stamps I will 

 send the complete printed instructions to 

 mount Birds, Mammals, Heads, etc., and one 

 pound of the Preservative, ready prepared for 

 the work ; together with complete directions 

 for dressing skins with the hair on, for rugs, 

 robes and hangings, and in addition I will 

 make the extra inducement of offering the for- 

 mula for making the Preservative Compound, 

 with the privilege of selling the same. 



The process will be exchanged for $3.00 worth 

 of stamps, or for other exchange. "What have 

 you to offer? Address
