THE OOLOGIST 
THE OGVOtGis) 
Since assuming the publication of 
our little bird magazine, the Editor 
has received many suggestions as to 
and management. 
its publication 
Some of them highly beneficial. We 
likewise have received criticism from 
a few of our subscribers, much of 
which we are sorry to say was prob- 
ably well merited. 
We have endeavored to furnish a 
magazine that was not only interest- 
ing to bird students, but likewise of 
value aS an exchange medium. Also 
to bring the exchange of skins and 
eges to the same basis of mutual fair 
dealing upon which ordinary business 
is transacted, The production of the 
magazine has taken much of our time, 
and into it we have put more money 
than we have received. That our fee- 
ble efforts have been appreciated may 
be seen from a perusal of the follow- 
ing excerpts from many other com- 
munications containing similar sen- 
timents. 
Of course we cect exist as a mag- 
azine without the support both moral 
and financial of our subscribers. We 
are not publishing THE OOLOGIST 
as a money-making proposition, but 
of course we appreciate all that our 
patrons can do to further enlarge our 
subscription list. The larger the list 
the better magazine we can give you. 
Read the following, show it to your 
bird friends, and see what you can do 
towards adding a few nine to our 
subscription list for 1911. We are sure 
you will recognize many of the names 
attached thereto as being ornitholo- 
gists of rank who know a good bird 
paper when they see it.
