This is the last number of the Oologist 

 that will be sent to 1888 subscribers unless 

 they have or will renew their subscription. 



We mail with tli'.s issue another copy of 

 our Premium liist; wUl our frieuds please 

 hand it, if not wanted for their own use, to 

 some one whom they think it might interest. 



That '88 prize article competition will be 

 decided in time to announce the result in 

 next Oologist ;wmYt't;^^. The fortunate com- 

 petiors will it ceive . good interest for the 

 delay. 



"The Nattiralists' Directory" as printed 

 on the cover page we predict, will prove a 

 great success* Yvide-awakc colieetors will 



not fail to have their names enrolled at once. 

 In order that they will give the Directory 

 a trial, we will, in March Oologist onlp, in- 

 sert their names in any department, for 

 only 5 cents, and 3 cents for eacli additional 

 branch. If by the 1st of July next this 

 investment has not f)aid back principal and 

 interest at the rate of 500 per cent, your 

 money will be ref tmded. 



Many write us desiring to exchange spec- 

 imens for a year's subscription to the 

 Oologist . For 75 cents worth of first class 

 specimens, birds' eggs preferred, we will 

 send the Oologist for '89, No premium 

 can be selected with this offer. 



It must be distinctly understood that all 

 subscriptions, received, during '89 mu&t 

 begin with Jan. issue and in reply to many 

 inquiries, we will say that after Feb. 1st we 

 will send the Oologist free for '89 to any 

 one ptirchasiug anything we advertise to th e 

 amount of $!'2.00 or over. 



Should you desire any of Davie's ef.gs 

 you must order at once. 



The prices in our Sept.. '88, BuUetin will 

 hold good tlirough '89. 



Scarcely a mail comes iu but what we 

 receive one or more 'letters without signa- 

 ture. From Feb. 1st. until Aug. 1st, v.e 

 do not receive less ^han.Jifti/ and Sometimes 

 over one Jniiuhrd letters a mail. How we 

 can fill orders without the names of the 

 writers attached, we are at a loss to under- 

 stand. We are now waiting for colleetors 

 from the following places to call us 

 "frauds " and like pet names in order that 

 we may forward a package of goods ordered, 

 which we cannot, owing to the fact that 

 they did not sign their names to their order: 



New Haven, Vermont, f 1.53 



Kalamazoo, Mich., 1.35 



West Chester, Pa., 1 00 



The last letter came last summer, and the 

 writer must feel quite resigned to the fate 

 of his dollar, for we have never heard any 

 complaint.
