HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY WHICH WILL NOT “COME AGAIN” 
OWING TO THE FACT that ‘‘sample copies’’ were sent out too libera'ly of certain numbers of THE NIpOL- 
OGIST, we cannot supply comPlete files to date, and consequently we have on hand a Gisproportionate, though not 
a large quantity of Nips of certain issues. These are ALL BRIMFUL OF EXCELLENT ARTICLES, each number 
handsomely tllust, ated, and rather than hold them in small quantities at stiff prices, we have decided to send them 
out to advertise us, giving Ornithologists the benefit of them now at very low figures. Many of our friends are 
thus afforded an opportunity to complete their files at small cost and others can secure very interesting back num-' 
bers at cost. Just as valuable as current issues, which will no doubt in future be worth several times over what 
we now ask. Where we cannot supply certain numbers you may succeed in filling the gaps inexpensively through 
exchange. 
WHILE THEY LAST, OUR PRICES for the following will be, prepaid: Szagle numbers, 10 cents; any four 
numbers, 25 cents; 10 numbers, 50 cents; 19 numbers, 90 cents. These cost ws, to prepare and print in quantity, 
an average of 714 cents per copy. On the last proposition offered you get them for less than 5 cents each. When 
the bulk are gone these prices will be cancelled. Following we enumerate briefly a few of the articles in each 
number. The surplus w¢// not /ast—don’t neglect this chance while offered.
