44 THE SEMI-ANNUAL. 



from its former owner, Mr. W. H. Foote, this number may 

 possibly not be up to the standard in the way of frontispiece and 

 ilhistrations to the O. & O. Semi-Annual. We ask the indulgence 

 of our readers and assure them that the October number will be 

 greatly superior to this April number, and it is proposed to give 

 as a frontispiece of the October number, a hand-painted cut of 

 some typical egg, or set of eggs.
