JOTTINGS. 



We intend to make the thirty-two paged 

 initial number of Vol. II (May issue), one 

 of the most valuable and interesting maga- 

 zines ever placed before the ornithologists 

 and oologists of America. Will our older 

 readers favor us with a few interesting ar- 

 ticles ? We must have their co-operation 

 to carry out our intentions. 



This issue contains considerable unin- 

 teresting matter, and while trespassing on 

 the good will of onr readers with so much 

 "trash," we trust they will remember that 

 we shall send them in March and April 

 issues eight pages more than we promised. 



SPECIAL NOTICE.— Each Number 

 ofVol. II. of THE YOUNG OOLOGIST 

 will contain 32 Pages. Subscriptions 

 and renewals will be received until 

 April 20th, 1885, at 75 Cents. New 

 subscriptions beginning with January 

 Number will be accepted at 60 Cents. 

 Renew or subscribe at once. 



This issue of The Youno Oologist, al 

 though dated March, is in reality the March 

 and April numbers. The April issue will 

 consist of only 8 pages, including index to 

 Vol. I. Copy of advertisements for this 

 issue must reach us on or before March 

 20th. The issuing of the last two numbers 

 of Vol. I in this form is for our own ac- 

 comodation, and as they will contain 40 

 pages of white paper instead of 32 we trust 

 our readers wiU not complain. 



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 " /or 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 hold 

 good until March loth, only. Between 700 

 and 800 subscriptions expire with the April 

 number. Renew at once, accepting the 

 above offer. As our friends have decided to 

 have the Yoxjng Oologist enlarged on 

 May 1st, the parties who now renew ac- 

 cepting this offer will enclose 25 cents ad- 

 ditional. Our friends who sent their re- 

 newals prior to reading this notice will 

 please remit 25 cents to balance the amount 

 due on their subscription for Vol. II. 

 New subscribers having their sub- 

 scriptions commencing before or with the 

 January number, no extra amount will be 

 charged. 



Competition for February prizes has 

 been very light. We can almost positively 

 say that only one or two sent by the 

 prize-winners will exceed five names. Do 

 not let the prizes offered for the March 

 competition be captured so easily.
