A DANGER SIGNAL! 



While it is seldom that The Oologist indulges in either 

 prophecy or promises as to the future, yet we believe that 

 we owe to our readers, the duty of warning them of the 

 effect of perusing a copy of The Oologist which we have 

 in mind to issue shortly. 



During the long years of our editorship there has come 

 to our desk numbers of jjoetical effusions which the Muse 

 Godd'ess has moved some of our contributors to give way to. 

 In the past these have been carefully preserved and laid 

 away for future reference and it will not be long now 

 before they will be unloaded upon you, d'ear readers. 

 Therefore, this timeh" notice is given that you may bra<",e 

 yourselves for the coming shock ! — The Editor.
