JOTTINGS. 



As you were informed in last issue, the 

 Oologist's Exchange has changed hands. 

 In presenting to you this, the first num- 

 ber. issued from our office, we would say 

 to you that we take up the publication 

 of this little journal not with the idea 

 that we can send out the best one of the 

 kind in the fieli, but- with the intention 

 of making it one of indispensible value 

 to the Oologist. Having been especially 

 interested in the study of Oology and 

 kindred sciences for some years, we shall 

 try to give the amateur that which w r e 

 so much needed in our first beginnings, 

 viz : descriptions of plumage, eggs, nest- 

 ing places and habits of our common 

 birds, rules for identification, etc. We 

 earnestly ask your co-operation in this, 

 hoping you may be able to send us notes 

 of general interest occasionally that thus 

 we may be enabled to keep the Oologist's 

 Exchange up to the standard already es- 

 tablished by our predecessor. Let us 

 have your support and we guarantee you 

 a journal worth double the price of sub- 

 scription. 



A year's subscription to this paper and 

 our 20 page catalogue and Trial Order 

 Certificate, for only 12 cents in stamps. 



Among publications received we note 

 Oologist, Ornithologist and Oologist, 

 Hoosier Naturalist, Agassiz's Record. 



Notice our terms — only 10 cents per 

 annum with one free exchange notice. 

 Send in your subscriptions immediately. 

 See Special Offers elsewhere. 



If you should receive more than one 

 copy of this edition, or are not interested 

 in it, please hand it to some friend who 

 is, as its regular visits will only be made 

 to bonafide subscribers. 



We have some excellent articles pend- 

 ing, on Identification, etc. Among our 

 early articles will be Birds of Wisconsin, 

 with description of plumage, nests and 

 eggs, preparing eggs, etc. April Prize 

 stories will appear next month. 



To Amatetjb Publishers Printing 

 oue Request Advertisements. — After 

 Sept. 1st we will pay no bills for adver- 

 tising unless inserted by our written per- 

 mission. We wish to exchange two 

 copies with all Natural History papers. 



To see what the position of the Oolo- 

 gists of America is as regards the several 

 parties now having candidates in the field, 

 we earnestly request every person receiv- 

 ing a copy of this issue to send on a pos- 

 tal card, the names of the presidential 

 candidates you would be glad to see 

 elected this fall. You will not regret it.
