EGGS 



In sending in your exchange notices for nests, 

 skins and eggs, we would appreciate it if you would 

 arrange the numerals in your exchange notice 

 In t^eir numerical order, and not tumble them 

 together hit and miss, as some of our readers are 

 complaining, and we think justly so.
