The above publication I shall issue regularly after November luih at 

 latest, and first nnmber may possibly appear sooner. 



It is to be a high-class journal, 84 wide double column pages, and wil! 

 contain interesting articles illustrated with fine engravings, on Oology, Or- 

 nithology, Mammalia, Mollusoa, Minerology, eto. No fiction, or ove)drAwn 

 articles will be allowed, bat all matter will be strictly original, from tb(^ pei!. 

 of the best naturalists of the present day. 



For the first year an exchange column will be open for the nee of enb 

 soribers, at one-half the usual rates, I have used the columns of vh 

 Bcientifio magazines enough to know that to be valuable, the paper 

 have a large oironlatioii. I cannot boast a large sabscription list at pt 

 of conrse, but I can guarantee to every person who may send his adv 

 ment for the initial number, that his ad. for the first three numbers tit 

 will go to 5,00e first-clafis addresses. These 5,000 names will b 

 screened from over 20,000 names now on hand. Over half of these inuMta 

 have either written or ordered of me the past year. Can you think of a 

 magazine that offers such opportunities for A 1 results. 



Kates on application. 



The subscription price will be .^1.00 a year. In order to start the roar 

 •ne oflf with a good sized list of subscribers, I make the following oil 



To each and every person who sends me $1.00 for subscription to

Doubtless no one is better posted than I of the perils of launohing into 

 the sea of " specialist " journalism, and I would not do so at this time, wero 

 I not urged on by my friends and patrons, they assuring mp that at thu 

 ' ne there is need of a journal such as I shall present to you. They hav»

 approval all along the line. '^
