JOTTINGS, 



Santa Claus should not forget to obtain 

 a copy of "Our Birds in their Haunts" 

 for each of his young friends. 



If you wish to naake two persons happy, 

 send the Young Oologist one year as a 

 Christmas present to some nature loving 

 friend. 



Owing to our limited time, the Curiosity 

 Bulletin has suspended, but special lists 

 and rates will be given in advertising col- 

 umns of the Young Oologist in its stead. 



The sample sets of Data Blanks and 

 price-lists of Taxidermists' and Entomolo- 

 gists' supplies, as mentioned in our Hand- 

 Book, will be ready January 1st, and Feb- 

 ruary 1st, respectively. 



C. G. Stone, of Raleigh, N. C. writes 

 us, that he has a runt &gg of the Cat-bird, 

 which is no larger than that of the Blue- 

 gray Gnat-catcher. Mr. S. also states in 

 reply to W. H Lucas, p. 103 Nov. Young 

 Oologist, that six eggs is the number 

 generally found in the nest of the Great 

 Crested Flycatcher in his locality. 



Mr. Oliver Davie, of Columbus, Ohio 

 has our thanks for sample copies of his 

 Naturalist's Manual, it is a neat little work, 

 and well merits the attention of our 

 oological friends. The work is intended 

 especially for the young naturalist. Mr. 

 D. gives instructions for collecting and 

 preserving birds, eggs, nests, and insects, 

 and for the benefit of the oologist he has 

 compiled, from leading scientific works a 

 description of the nests and eggs of Ameri- 

 can Birds from the Thrushes to the 

 Tanagers, inclusive (No. 1 to 164 Ridge- 

 way's Nomenclature) to which he has 

 added original notes on the species with 

 which he is familiar. We trust friend D. 

 will be able to complete the descriptions 

 from Fnngillidod to Alddce,, thereby making 

 a work indispensable to the oologist. The 

 " Naturalist's Manual" can be obtained by 

 addressing Mr. D. or at the office of the 

 Young Oologist. Price, paper covers, 

 75 cents ; bound in cloth $1.25. 



The attention of every reader of the 

 Young Oologist is called to the advertise- 

 ment of Messrs. Davis and Baker. Just 

 think of it ! An Oologists Directory ! Just 

 what we have long wanted and always 

 needed. To be compiled and published 

 by two wide-awake collectors. If every 

 reader of the Young Oologist will take 

 hold of the work as they ought, its success 

 will be unquestionable. 



Send in your names at once, and at the 

 same time those of your friends, and, per- 

 haps, obtain a rare and desirable iigg in 

 addition to the Directory for your trouble. 



Boys, this is our work. Let's put our 

 shoulders to the wheel and make it a success. 



Remember the address. Davis & Baker, 

 N. Granville, N. Y.
