JOTTINGS. 



Back numbers of The Young Oologist 

 will be furnished at six cents per copy. 



Mr. M. Abbott Frazar, of Mt. Auburn, 

 Mass., collected many showy and desirable 

 eggs in Labrador last season. 



For $1.00 we will send a copy of our 

 Hand-Book and The Young Oologist, 

 from May, 1884, to Dec, 1885, inclusive. 



The first prize of last competition has 

 been won by Mr. H. "W. Davis, of North 

 Granville, N. Y. Mr. D. sent us less than 

 twenty new names. With the exception 

 of Mr. D's list, we received only one or 

 two exceeding ten names. 



The February number of The Young 

 Oologist will have a circulation of not 

 less than 5,000 copies. Advertisers desir- 

 ing space should send in copy at once. 

 Every copy will he placed, in the hands of 

 wide-aicake Collectors. 



On page 132 we give a fac simile of a 

 hand-bill announcing the sale of one of llie 

 rarest eggs ever offered collectors. This 

 egg, we think, brought its owner $1,000. 

 There are but few collectors in this country 

 but what an egg or two of this species 

 would like to obtain. We are indebted to 

 J. I. Tennant, F. R. S., Stoke-in-Trent, 

 Eng., for tlie loan of one of the original 

 bills. 



To every collector who will send us a 

 list giving the names of not less that twelve 

 collectors in their vicinitj", whom they 

 think might be induced to subscribe for 

 The Young Oologist, we will send a 

 copy of our new Hand-book, for their 

 trouble. Names of present subscribers 

 will not count. This offer will hold good 

 until Feb. 15, only. 



Our Premium List in a Nut Shell: — 

 For every new subscriber, one of our pres- 

 ent subscribers may send us, we will give 

 twenty-five cents worth of anything we 

 advertise, or offer for sale in The Young 

 Oologist, our Catalogue, or any circular 

 we may send out: We trust our friends 

 will obtain for us as many new subscribers 

 as possible. We consider our premium 

 list one of the largest and most varied 

 ever sent out by any publisher in America. 

 Parties desiring to obtain a costly premium 

 can send in their names, as fast as obtained, 

 and we will give them a check good for 

 25 cents, in trade, when the required num- 

 ber of checks are obtained they may be 

 sent to us and we will send the premium 

 desired. 



We are receiving many kind letters, in 

 praise of our Oologists' Hand-Book, and to 

 us it is very gratifying, as it assures us oiu" 

 efforts are appreciated.
