E. M. Haiglit has a large stock of 

 curiosities of all kinds on hand at very 

 low prices. Our readers should send 

 for his monthly price list. See his 

 advertisement on the 8th page. 



We have been obliged to leave out 

 a large number of interesting articles 

 for want of space but will publish 

 them soon. 



We have received a copy of Ernest 

 Ingersoll's Bird Nesting, published by 

 S. E. Casino & Co., of this city and we 

 think it is just the book for the young- 

 collector, giving concise directions for 

 preparing and labeling specimens, 

 arranging the cabinet, in fact all 

 the information that is required, 

 is given in an attractive form. 

 It also contains a list of Birds about 

 the nidification of which little or noth. 

 ing is known, which is a valuable fea- 

 ture of the work. 



Special Present to New Subscribers, 



To every one who sends in 50 cents 

 for a year's subscription to the Young 

 Ornithologist before Jan. 1, we will 

 send 4 dozen medium sized non-cor- 

 rosive pens. These pens write very 

 nicely, and are retailed at 10c. per 

 dozen. 



KIND WORDS. 



' ' We have received a copy of the 

 'Young Ornithologist ' and think it is 

 very interesting, and well worth the 

 price of 50 cents per year." — The 

 Chronicle, Needham, Mass. 



" I was handed a sample copy of 

 your paper a few days ago, and think 

 it is a little beauty both in style and 

 make-up. Yours truly, 



E. C. Davis, 

 Gainesville, Tex. 



"Your paper in my eyes is the best 

 appertaining to Ornithology and Oo- 

 logy published. You have my best 

 wishes for its success." 



E. W. Lapp, 



Philadelphia, Pa. 



" I am very much pleased with the 

 style of your paper. It should re- 

 ceive the support of every live, work- 

 ing young ornithologist and oologist. 

 I wish it all success." 



Oliver Davie, 

 Columbus, Ohio. 



"We have examined a copy of the 

 "Young Ornithologist," published by 

 A. A. Child, 64 Federal Street, Bos- 

 ton, and find it very interesting and 

 ably arranged. No student of Orni- 

 thology should fail to take it, as a 

 single number often contains more of 

 value than the subscription price."
