JOTTINGS. 



By mistake our last issue was printed 

 on rather poor paper. It will not occur 

 again. 



We have received a few short articles 

 for which we tender our thanks. Send 

 them on we can use them. 



A year's subscription to this paper and 

 our 20 page catalogue and Trial Order 

 Certificate, for only 12 cents in stamp. 



To Amateur Publishers Printing 

 our Bequest Advertisements. — After 

 Oct. 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. 



We will have a small museum exhibit 

 at the following Fairs this fall— Bock- 



ford, Fieeport, Woodstock, Elkhorn and 

 Madison, and perhaps others. We shall 

 be glad to welcome any of our friends 

 and patrons. If you attend any of these 

 give us a call and make yourself known. 



Our continued articles were crowded 

 out this month on account of "Prize 

 Stories." The April Prize Stories were 

 referred to us by Mr. Wilson. After 

 careful criticism we decided the first 

 prize, an Ostrich egg, should be awarded 

 to "Scolopax", of Kalamazoo, Mich., and 

 the second, a pair of climbers, to W. E. 

 Pratt, of Chicago, 111. There were two 

 or three others very good making it a 

 difficult matter to decide. 



In our last issue we requested every- 

 one receiving a copy to send us on a 

 postal card the name of their favorite 

 presidential candidates. We repeat the 

 request this month hoping to hear from 

 a great many more. Send only your 

 own names and address. It will pay 

 }ou for the small investment of one cent. 

 To every one complying with this request 

 we offer the Oologist's Exchange for bal- 

 ance of '88. See also offers on last page. 



"Frank H. Lattin, of Albion, Orleans 

 Co., N. Y., is a dealer in natural history 

 specimens, instruments, supplies, and 

 publications of all kinds. Every A. A. 

 Chapter should have a copy of his com- 

 plete catalogue and price-lists before 

 making purchases. His specimens are 

 the very best, and his prices will be 

 found to be much lower than those of 

 any other reliable dealer." 



The above we copy from Three King- 

 doms, the Hand-Book of the Agassiz 

 Association. Our readers would no 

 doubt save money by complying with 

 President Ballard's advice.
