For the next three months, material in abundance can be found for the 

 camera hunter, on every hand. The photographing of adult wild birds, out 

 in the woods and free, is quite a difficult matter and requires much time and 

 patience but the results are well worth all the effort that is required. We 

 are always glad to receive photographs of nests, young birds or adults for 

 inspection with a view to publishing in American Ornithology. All pictures 

 that we can use we will pay for at the rate of 50c. each, and for exceptional 

 ones we will pay up to $2.00. We wish all who may try this fascinating 

 sport the best of success. 



One of the best and most interesting works on natural history we have ever 

 examined is the "Library of Natural History" in 5 vols. It is very complete- 

 ly illustrated from photographs, most of them being from living animals; it 

 will therefore especially appeal to all interested in the camera, as well as to 

 all nature lovers. All our readers should send ten cents at once to the 

 University Society, 78 Fifth Avenue, New York City, for their very hand- 

 some booklet concerning this library and four colored pictures which they 

 will mail to you if you mention the bird magazine. 



Taking everything into consideration, the following three colored the 

 Orchard Oriole supplement with the most skill. Let's see how many can 

 correctly color the Bob White that is with this issue. 1st. Chas. Richard
