OOLOGISTS' 



DIRECTORY. 



Messrs. Davis and Baker propose to publish 

 an Oologists' Directory, to contain the names 

 and addresses of ii 00 collectors of birds' eggs, 

 skins and nests, and collectors of natural 

 history specimens in general. We will insert 

 the name and address of any collector in the 

 directory, send them a copy, when published, 

 and make them a present of any one of the 

 following eggs: Alligator, Razor-billed Auk, 

 Eider Duck, Herring Gull, Night Heron, 

 Louisiana Heron, Boat-tailed Grackle, Florida 

 Cormorant, or Puffin, all for three dimes and 

 four cents in stamps for postage. We offer the 

 above eggs in order to fill up our directory as 

 soon as possible. The eggs are all first class 

 blown through one smoothly drilled hole in the 

 side; if you do no' want any of the above eggs, 

 we will insert your name and send you a copy 

 for two dimes and two i- cent stamps, or if you 

 will send us a written agreement to pay us for 

 inserting your name, we will do so and send 

 you a copy, when printed. An advertisement 

 in the directory will pay big; send for rates. 

 The price is so small that every collector should 

 avail himself of this opportunity. The prizes 

 already advertised will not be postponed, but 

 will be awarded the loth of January, 1885. 

 We offer the following new prizes. To the 

 person who will get up the largest club of col-

 our Directory, before February 20, 1 885, we

 lists. The price of the directory, when pub- 

 lished, will be 25 Cents. Directory will be
