THE NIDOLOGIST 
Orrer EXTRAORDINARY. 
<>? > o> 
A Book of over 400 pages, highly illustrated with over 100 half-tones 
and photo-engravings, all for a mere trifle. This is all The Museum 
cost for’95. The second volume, commencing with the November num- 
ber, starts off as usual with 21illustrations, and the December number will 
contain fully 25. The year’s number will contain over double the number 
of illustrations in Volume I, and the text will increase in interest as sure as 
the age of the journal increases. 
While we are not wholly “ Ornithological,” still the tastes of the editor 
run in that channel and subscribers can be assured of a good big dollar's 
worth of “ Ornithological News.” 
We offer you Che Museum for’96, commencing with the November, 
‘95, number, for $1.00, and give you as premium a leather bound copy 
of my Ornithologists’ and Oologists’ Manual, the standard list used 
by collectors in exchanging.
