JOTTINGS. 



In marking eggs collectors should always 

 use a soft lead pencil. 



We have several files full of valuable 

 items from our friends. These will be 

 used at the earliest possible period. 



During tne month of July we will send 

 The Young Oologist and one of our 

 rubber stamp outfits for only 65 cents. 

 The Young Oologist without the outfit 

 for 58 cents. 



In regard to the American Peregrine 

 Falcon; Duck Hawk, J. R. B., of Windsor, 

 Vt., wfites us, that he has found where 

 they are breeding ; easily accessible ; do 

 not know as I shall get any this year, but 

 think I can "monopolize" the locality in 

 the future. 



P. B. H., of Sherwood, Cayuga Co., 

 N. Y., found a set of Mottled Owl eggs 

 during the latter part of May. 



Mr. I. Tennant, of Stoke, England, has 

 our thanks for the set of Tabular Views of 

 Characteristic British Fossils, stratigraphic- 

 ally arranged, and the valuable papers 

 which he kindly sent us. 



Collectors desiring to purchase or ex- 

 change* desirable specimens should try our 

 exchange and want column. Several par- 

 ties write us that they have received over 

 forty replies from a single notice. 



If each and every one of our present 

 subscribers will send us only one sub- 

 scription during the month of July we 

 will have The Young Oologist neatly 

 covei'ed, and have our advertisements con- 

 fined strictly to the cover pages. 



To Editors and Pubdisheks. — We 

 will send The Young Oologist one year 

 to any editor or publisher who will give it 

 a notice, favorable or otherwise, and send 

 us a marked copy of his paper containing 

 the same. 



On the 3d of May I observed a Golden 

 Eagle soaring at a good height, north of 

 this city. There are few birds besides 

 Crows, Bluebirds, and Robins breeding 

 here yet. (May 7th.) 



F. D., Toronto, Ont. 



S. L. W., of Grinnell, Iowa, writes us: 

 A companion Oologist of mine last season 

 saved some hawk's eggs, which contained 

 young birds ; by putting lye into the eggs, 

 this, of course, destroyed the chicks, and 

 made it possible to blow the eggs. Another 

 way is, to put the egg into an ant-hill, 

 leaving it there until the ants have eaten 

 the inside. 



We often receive a dozen or more pack- 

 ages at a single mail, consequently it is 

 almost impossible for us to tell who they 

 are from unless the sender's name is either 

 written, stamped or printed on the wrap- 

 per.
