paper costs today, TERRIFICALLY 

 COSTS! 



Therefore, again, should a' second 

 Edition of tlae Price List be called for, 

 as it certainly should, one would like 

 to enroll himself among a pos&.Diu 

 number that would guarantee to take 

 a copy, or two copies, printed on high- 

 grade paper. One feels quite sure that 

 the publisher would kindly take the 

 pains involved to print as mFi'ny copiea 

 de luxe a's might thus be subscribed 

 for. 



May I repeat, I have been animated 

 by just one single motive, in what has 

 been written above, namely, the de- 

 velopment, by collaboration, and the 

 final issuance of a Price List that shsll 

 be technically a'nd scientifically near- 

 perfect.

you don't know why but I did and am 

 still interested In the old birds. Like to 

 see him or her., like to hear them, live 

 for them to wake me up "telling it" 

 and believe me, can't they tell it, like 

 to watch them from the window, see 

 them take the last seed of out or the 

 last sun flower head, and they'll do it 

 too, but I had rather buy new seed 

 than to deprive them of any in their 

 reach. Any one who has watched a 

 pair rear four or five "carbon copies" 

 cannot help but like their nerve. He 

 may have his bad qualities and doubt- 

 less has, but show us something or 

 someone who has not, so I am still in- 

 terested a'nd on this date about four 

 pair blew in and I could hardly believe 

 it, but after going out and louiving 

 them over, satisfying myself by sight 

 and sound, I am happy.

'BLUE JAYS' 



ANOTHER SUPPLEMENT 



For latter part of the last twenty- 

 ccven million years, up to at least 

 about five years ago, this part of the 

 U. S. A. had been devoid of "Jay 

 Bh'ds," but for the last four or five 

 years they have steadily grown in pop- 

 ulation, -until now a fairly good sized 

 family regularly makes for, at least, 

 this immediate vicinity. 



1922 opened up just about like most 

 years usually do, and as time passed 

 on naturally the "Jay Bird," was 

 looked for, and actually hoped for. Day 

 after day we knew he would be here, 

 but he failed, and after going blamed 

 near blind, looking and deaf listening 

 for sight or sound, the Jay Bird was 

 passed as a has been and we won- 

 dered why. 



It would not have mattered much, 

 but sometimes you get interested and 



We have another supplement in pro- 

 cess, which will be a well deserved 

 tribute . to a splendid, old tmic, old 

 fashioned naturalist, and we are very 

 sure that The Oologist family will be 

 more than pleased with that forth- 

 coming production. 



THE BLUE PENGUIN 



Vv'e may well add here that we also 

 have recently had the plates prepared 

 to illustrate a most unusual article on 

 the subject of The Little Blue Penguin, 

 of Australia, and its adjacent Islands, 

 Fauna 



We may be wrong, but we really be- 

 lieve that we are furnishing our sub- 

 scribers with an Oologist worth fifty 

 cents annually. — R. M. B.
