Jesse Craven, of HoUey, N. Y.. writes us 



that the '-Brewster's, Linnet," <Uscribed 



by F. C. L. in last Oologist was the Pine 

 Siskin. 



Parties desiring eggs or nests fur Easter 

 decoration or souvenirs had better obtain 

 some of the Bargain Lots that are offered in 

 tliis issue; also the cheaper eggs and the 

 nests offered in the Davie collection. 



The Naturalists' Directory is bound to be 

 a success. We know of one collector that 

 made an even $5.00 fioni a single exchange 

 that was made from having his • 

 name in last issue. Not a had invest- 

 ment ? 



Our 10c coupon offer given in the 

 Pbemitim List does not guarantee you to 

 receive the Oologist by the 10th of each 

 month, but is a forfeit which we will pay if 

 the Oologist is nf)t mailed by the 10th of 

 each mouth. Feb. issue was mailed Feb. 

 8th. 



At the low prices which our Bargain 

 Lots ara offered, collectors can make 

 selections from a lot for their own collection 

 which would ccst much more to purchase 

 at retail and then have duplicatts enough 

 left to either sell or exchange with other 

 collectors for twice the amount the lot 

 \vill cost them at our prices. 



Davie's New Kej', 3d edition, is ex^iected 

 fdmost daily. If not mailed before the 

 next issue of the Oologist we shall have 

 another letter from friend D — . The dehiy 

 must be aggravating to our patrons, but 

 nevertheless we will (jMnrnrdee them to 

 receive good interest on their investment, 

 and if Mr . Davie continues to add page 

 after page of interesting matter as he is 

 now doing, it will be only the advance 

 subscribers that will be able to obtain a 

 copy at the low price of, fl.OO. 



Davie's eggs are going off raiDidly, but 

 nevertheless every purchaser will receive a 

 prize that will larove quite acceptable and 

 will well repay ihem fur sending in their 

 orders. From present outlook, we think 

 a %15 order will come pretty close to tlie 

 1st prize, and that there will not be 

 competitors enough to take the hx\x to ^Gth 

 prizes and also that an order of only %'i^SX) 

 or $4.00 will take the 5th or (Uh prize. It 

 will prove a big inves'ment to any collector 

 to send in a $2.00 order. There will not 

 be competitors enough to take the balance 

 of the prizes. It will p.",y collectors to
