JOTTINGS.

 the Broad-winged Hawk has been found. 

 Can any of our readers give us information 

 on the subject?

 in America should subscribe for The 

 Young Oologist. We give more original

We are striving to captivate tlie hearts 

 and pocket-books of America's Naturalists, 

 if they, old and young, amateur and pro- 

 fessional, will take 60 cents from the latter 

 and send it to us in payment for The 

 Young Oologist one year. We will take 

 our chances at "getting around" the former 

 during the ensuing twelve months. 



This month's Yotjng Oologist has a 

 very extensive circulation; should you re- 

 ceive more than one copJ^ or not care for 

 the copy you do receive, neither throw it 

 away nor return it to us, but hand or 

 send it to some friend whom it might in- 

 terest. Two parties will then thank you 

 for your trouble. 



Copy for January is.sue of The Young 

 Oologist was handed our printer Dec. 23; 

 ample time was given to have them out by 

 Januarj^ 1st, but, as our friends are doubt- 

 less aware, we did not receive them until 

 the morning of Jan. 14. The afternoon of 

 the same day we received them, our thir- 

 teen hundred subscribers each had a copy 

 in the mail bag started for their home. 

 Our printer may disappoint and delay us 

 once more, but only once. 



We will send a copy of Davie's Egg 

 Check List, the Young Oologist one 

 year, and a copy of our new ' ' Oologists" 

 Hand-Book " /(??• only $1.00. We make 

 this offer in order to get our Hand-Book 

 and Davie's Check List introduced before 

 the coming season. This offer will Iwld 

 good until March Ibth, only. Between 700 

 and 800 subscriptions expire with the April 

 number. Renew at once, accepting the 

 above offer. Should our friends decide to 

 have the Young Oologist enlarged on 

 May 1st, the parties now renewing their 

 subscriptions will be owing us 40 cents, 

 but to new subscribers having their sub- 

 scriptions commencing before or with the 

 January number, no extra amount will be 

 charged. 



Back numbers of The Young Oologist 

 will be furnished at six cents per copy.
