JOTTINGS. 



We have compiled an exhaustive index 

 tor Vol. 1 of the Young Oologist. Never 

 has there been published one-half the 

 amount of valuable information for the 

 collector at double the money as we have 

 given our readers during the past year in 

 our little monthly. We can, during the 

 month of April, furnish Vol. I. complete 

 — ^^see index for contents — for only sixty 

 cents. Complete your files while you can. 

 Back numbers will soon be exceedingly 

 rare and valuable and possibly not obtain- 

 able at any price. 



SPECIAL NOTICE.— Each f umber 

 of Vol. II, of THE YOUNG OOLOGIST 

 will contain 32 Pages. Subscriptions 

 and Renewals will be received until 

 April 20th, 1885, at 75 Cents. After 

 that date $i.oo. New Subscriptions 

 can commence with any number. 



The Knights of Audubon promises to be 

 a great success. Several Legions have al- 

 ready been formed. 



Look out for Eggs of the Owl, Hawk. 

 Crow and other large species this month. 

 It's now too late for many Owl's nests. 



Hundreds of subscriptions expire with 

 this issue. Renew at once. We cannot 

 afford to lose a single subscriber. 



During the month of April we shall 

 open an office in Albion, and will then be 

 able to attend to all correspondence the 

 day received. 



Oldroyd's inks are good enough for us. 

 We are using gallons of them . A pint of 

 any color costs only fifteen cents and we 

 find it gives better satisfaction than the 

 little bottles purchased at the stores for the 

 same amount. 



For our own benefit we have postponed 

 the awarding of March prizes and have 

 extended the time for closing the competi- 

 tion until April 30th, at which date the last 

 subscriptions can be ' sent at 75c. This 

 may possibly be our last competition.
