THE OCJLOGIST. 



Lattin's Standard Catalog of North American Birds Eggs. 



Enlarged (contains 72 pages) revised, corrected and brought up to date of going to press— 

 Marcli, 1896. Giving all of the new A. O. U. changes and additions. Also divided and sub- 

 divided into orders, sub-orders, families, and sub-families. 



Values are based on the 1893 ones which were determined by the compiler, from invaluable 

 notes, suggestions and assistance from Major Chas. E. Bendire, J. Parker Norris, Esq., and Cap- 

 tain B. F. Goss. In addition to these notes, which have been carefully reworked, the compiler 

 has had suggestions from over Forty Leading American Oologisps, all of which were care- 

 fully considered and where advisable, adopted. Lattin's Catalogue has long been recognized by 

 leading Oologists as the "Standard." The compiler intends to issue a new one as soon as this 

 edition is exhausted and desires the assistance of every working Oologist, in making values, etc. 

 On this account he has concluded to close out this edition at the following rates, postpaid (regular 

 price was 25 cents per copy.) Single copy 10 cents: 3 for 2b cents; 7 for 50 cents; 15 for $1 00.

y\dvertise in The OOLOGIST. 



The "Country Gentlemen" is the leading Agricultural newspaper in Am- 

 Jerica, and in soliciting advertising for its columns it makes its strongest hit 

 in the following statement: 



"AS TO QUANTITY OF CIRCULATION 

 it publishes many more 'Want Ads' than all other papers combined. You 

 doubtless know what a 'Want Ad' circulation must be and always isV 

 From this same stand point the Oologist's rank among publications devoted 

 not only to Ornithology but Natural History as well is identical to that of the 

 County Gentlemen among agricultural publications. 



Mr. W. Raine, of Toronto, who has already purchased $20 worth of space in 

 the Oologist for '98 and who has patronized its columns to a greater or less ex- 

 tent for the past ten years", under date of March 2d, writes: 



"I do not wish to jolly you but I must sav that the Oologist is the best adver- 

 tising journal of its kind in this continent. You should see the pile of letters I 

 have received the past two weeks. Many from my old correspondents of years 

 standing. For Vi years I have advertised in every Ornithological journal pub- 

 lished in the United States, but none bring as good resu'is as the Oologist." 



''Methods in the Art of Taxidermy." By Davie. 



The Publishers price for this elaborate vi^ork was $io. The book is 

 now out of print and the Publisher's supply is exhausted. Each month 

 will now increase the value of copies remaining in hands of Dealers or 

 Collectors, at least at the rate of 50 cents per month. 



I have only a few copies left (only six) and knowing full well that 

 I shall be unable to obtain copies in the future to fill my orders at this 

 price and perhaps not at any price. I have decided to close out the 

 ones I have if taken befo7-e July 15th at only ^4 per COpV. (35 cents 

 additional if sent prepaid). 



In case I have any left after July 15th it will take at least a .$5 bill 

 to secure a copy, doubtless more.
