JOTTINGS. 



As announced in our circular of Jan. 

 25th we have changed for a short perio 1 , 

 the publication of the Oolooist Ex- 

 change from monthly to quarterly. The 

 reason for this is, that one of the firm hav- 

 ing moved to a neighboring city to en- 

 gage in other business, it leaves the 

 whole of our curiosity trade to be atten- 

 ded to by one, hence the lack of time 

 has caused the delay of this issue and 

 the change as mentioned above. 



As soon as we possible can, monthly 

 publication will be again resumed, but of 

 this we can at present make no definite 

 promise. We hope this will be satisfac- 

 tory to our subscribers; but to at least 

 partly repay you we gave special offers 

 in our circular as follows: — On receipt 

 of 20 cents to pay postage and packing 

 we will send any Shells, Minerals or 



Curiosities listed on pages 7, 8, 9 and 10 

 of our catalogue, or any Data Blanks on 

 pages 14, 15 and 16 to the amount of 

 50 cents; $1.00 worth for 45 cents: $2.50 

 worth for $1.20; $5.00 worth for $2.40. 

 Orders over $8.00 at 60 per cent dis- 

 count. These offers are to subscribers 

 only and are good until April 15th. 



We shall give all our subscribers the 

 worth of their money in practical reading 

 matter whether we publish our journal 

 quarterly or monthly. We hope to hear 

 from each and all of our subscribers. 

 Address all communications to Dickinson 

 & Durkee, Sharon, Wis., as before. 



"Frank H. Lattin, of Albion, Orleans 

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

 specimeus, instruments, supplies, and 

 publication of all kinks. 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-Buok of the Agassiz 

 Association. Our readers would no doubt 

 save money by complying with President 

 Ballard's advice. 



We call our readers attention to tne 

 attratcive advertisement of Marcellus 

 Foster, (Huntsville, Tex. ) in this issue. 

 The pen, pencil and self-inking stamp he 

 advertises is made of the lightest and 

 best sheet, brass, handsomely nickel- 

 plated, strong and durable and is cheaper 

 than any other stamp on the market. 

 There are several millions of these 

 stamps in use. It will print your name 

 a thousand times without reinking and 

 can be used to mark clothing indelibly. 

 Send him 25 cents for one. Ink 5 cents 

 extra. 



We have received a complimentary 

 copy of Ornithologist' 's and Oologists 's 

 Semi-Annual published by Mr. W. H. 

 Foote, and must say it is a finely gotten 

 up work. We wish him success. See 

 ad. elsewhere.
