As we go to press, we receive from J. 

 Tennant, F. G. S., Stoke, Eng., some 

 valuable papers on the egg of ^pyornis 

 maximus, the colossal Bird of Madagascar. 

 Our readers will hear from them later. 



H. W., of Adrian, Mich., writes, us, 

 that while out collecting last May, he found 

 a set of four Robin's eggs, the first was of 

 the usual size, the second a little smaller, 

 and the third smaller than the second, and 

 that the fourth was perfectly round. 



The name of Mr. L. B. Walker, Morris- 

 town, N. J. was omlted from the list of 

 prize winners, given in the last Yotjng 

 Oologist. Mr. W. sent one subscriber.

 months Young Oologist, having a red

Best Book for Everybody. — The new 

 illustrated edition of Webster's Dictionary, 

 containing three thousand engravings, is 

 the best book for everybody that the press 

 has produced in the present century, and 

 should be regarded as indispensable to the 

 well-regulated horre, reading-room, library, 

 and place of business. — Golden Era. 



Mr. S. E. Cassino, of Peabody, Mass., 

 is now compiling the International Natur- 

 alists Directory of 1885, and desires to 

 have the name of every scientist, whether 

 amateur or professional, in the world, 

 inserted in this edition. The 1885 edition 

 will contain the names of people interested 

 in science, and desirous of making 

 exchanges from all parts of the world; and 

 in order that the addresses may be reliable, 

 only such names will be inserted in the 

 foreign department as are heard from, or 

 are well known. Blanks will be furnished 

 the readers of the Young Oologist with 

 pleasure, but if they do not take interest 

 enough to fill them out and return, the 

 publisher cannot insert their names. Our 

 readers should write for blanks at once, as 

 it will cost nothing to have their names 

 inserted in the Directory. The last edition 

 of this directory contained thousands of 

 addresses from all parts of America, 

 Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceanica, all of 

 which were interested in one or more of 

 the many branches of science. The 1885 

 edition Mr. C. intends to make more com- 

 plete than any previous edition. Mr. C. is 

 also compiling a Philatelic Directory. 

 When sending for blanks always mention 

 The YounG Oologist.
