1922 



T] HE New Catalogue of Prices is issued. The Sea- 

 __ son of 1922 is here. There is no reason now why 

 ^^M Oology should not take a boom. Those having 

 charge of the issuing of Federal Permits are reasonable 

 in their requirements. We expect to see a revival of 

 interest in this Scientific Hobby, during the present year 

 which will rival the palmy days of the nineties. 



Every Oologist should encourage the younger genera- 

 tion about him who are inclined to Natural History 

 Study, and give them every encouragement and assist- 

 ance, and each trained Oologist should have one young- 

 ster specially in mind to guide along the paths, which all 

 successful and reputable Oologists should travel. 



This little publication^ will do all that it can toward 

 bringing about and encouraging this renewed interest. 



We have been under many difficulties and disadvant- 

 ages during the past year of which our readers know lit- 

 tle or nothing. I think the skies are now clearing and it 

 is to be hoped that The Oologist will be more prompt in 

 appearance and more interesting in contents if possible 

 in the future than it has been in the past. — ^The Editor.
