THE OOLOGIST. v 



AN EXTRAORDINARY 



CHRISTMAS OFFER. 



SIO.OO BOOK KRKEL. 



To each of our patrons who favor us with an order for Books, Pamphlets, or Pub- 

 Hcations, on or before January i, 1899, to the amount of $10.00 or over, we will send by 

 express at their expense a new copy of that magnificent work, 



"Davie's Methods in the Art of Taxidermy," 



without additional charge, or in other words, make them a Christmas present of the 

 book. This elaborate work was published at $10 per copy, and the publishers supply 

 has been exhausted for nearly a year, we possessing the few unsold copies, and if any 

 remain after January ist they will be held at $7.50 cash per copy — our present regular 

 price. Remember every purchaser whose order amounts to $10 or over receives a copy 

 gratis and if your order amounts to $50 or even $100, or if you send in half a dozen 

 $10 orders you get only the single copy. That is we wish to present each patron a 

 single copy, but no more. Faithfully, 



FRANK H. LATTIN, ALBION, N. Y. 

 N. B. — This offer also includes all popular and recent works on Ornithology, Nat- 

 ural History and Out Door Life, not on our lists you simply including them in your 

 order at Publisher's regular price. 



Bendire's '*Life Histories of 



North American Birds,'* 



Recognized the world over as the most valuable addition to the literature bearing 

 on American Ornithology of the decade. The Government (its publishers) supply has 

 long been exhausted and during the past two years every copy we could secure has 

 had two or three purchasers waiting who have paid us anywhere from $7.50 to $10.00 

 per copy and considering themselves fortunate to secure them at even the latter figure. 

 We have just secured a few complete sets from an unexpected source and offer them 

 by Express at purchaser's expense at the following exceedingly liberal rates: 

 Vol. I, $9.00; Vol. II, $7.00; or both Vols. I and II for $16.00. 



REMEMBER, however, that if you send us the $16 for both Vols. I and II on or 

 before January ist that your order will come under our "Extraordinary Christmas Offer" 

 and that you will in addition to the set of Bendire's get a copy of Davie's "Methods in 

 the Art of Taxidermy," without additional charge — thus really making your set of 

 Bendire's cheaper than you could obtain them three or four years ago w^ien they were 

 among the "obtainables."

 has had suggestions from over Forty Leading American Oologists, 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.
