 interesting items and notes it will be 

 lieeanse onr pati'ons i'ail to send them 

 in. The ayera.ge number of copies 

 printed of varh issue of the Oologist 

 during the past \'eai- has been 2250 

 i'o])ics and it is safe to say that each 

 issue lias been i-ea,d by over 2000 live 

 eolleetoi-s, eaeh of which could rehite 

 some incident or could take from their 

 nole-ijook some iti-m that would be 

 of liiore than oi'dinary interest. 



Dui-ing 1890, we want these items and 

 notes whether it be relating to the nest- 

 -ng of some rare species; something 



unnsnai regarding our more common 



s]>ecies, ov whether it is ad^•ise, sng- 



gestions, I'cceipls or descriptions of 



contrivances of \alue to tlie collector, 



we i-are not, 'iiily let it be something 



ii(/;\ original and i/iff/'i slhuj. We do 



not want descriptions of common birds 



or the nestings of the same, these can 



iie obtaini'(l in almost any book on the 



subject — White Blnebird Eggs — Sj;otled 



iiobin Eggs — lunit Eggs — Double-yolk-

Tin.' present subsci'ijition list and the 



rate r.t which lu'w snbscri])tions and 



renewals are now pouring in for 18ViU, 



silently, l)ut surely, proves that the 



OoLOGisT is vained as it is, bu.t ^vitl) 



the aid and hearty co-opei-alion of its
