JOTTINGS. 



Our regular business has caused the delay 

 of this issue. 



Our new twenty -page catalogue for the 

 ornithologist, oologist and taxidermist is 

 one of the best and most complete of the 

 kind ever issued. Send for it. 



Next Oologist will not be issued until 

 July 1st, and will contain in full a cata- 

 logue of our surplus stock, including min- 

 erals, fossils, curiosities of all kinds, coins, 

 stamps, etc. 



A sample copy of this Oologist goes to 

 nearly every known oologist, ornithologist 

 and taxidermist in America. We think you 

 can glean 25 cents worth of information 

 fromi ts pages during '87. Try, and be 

 convinced. 



Special attention is called to the few 

 sample descriptions on another page, taken 

 from Davie's invaluable work. Only a few 

 copies are left ; the price is $1.00 per copy. 

 You will find it worth three times that 

 amount. 



Carefully read every advertisement in 

 this Oologist, but stop long enough after 

 reading the full page advertisement of 

 Messrs. Rand& Reed, of Worcester, Mass., 

 to send for their list of shades and then 

 order one or more of them, we will guar- 

 antee you will never regret it. If you are 

 not a taxidermist they will fit you up the 

 shade complete for your parlor, dining- 

 room, or office. " Lattin " has a sample 

 of this firm's handiwork iu a Ruffed 

 Grouse, handsomely mounted on a rich 

 plush panel, framed in a fine heavy gilt 

 frame and covered with one of those 

 shades for his dining-room. Words can 

 not express its beauty and attractivenes — it 

 is both artistic and life-like, and this shade 

 brings the specimen right to the front 

 where it can be seen and admired. We 

 would not exchange our dining-room piece 

 for a fifty-dollar painting. 



In regard to the value of our new ' ' Book 

 of Dates" and " Field JSTotes," we allow a 

 few of the leading oologists to speak : 



" No person making a study of nests and 

 eggs can afford to be without these two 

 valuable books. Oologists will certainly 

 lose no time, money, and valuable notes 

 and records without these necessary articles 

 in the field. You may depend upon my 

 patronage for these books anmially. 



Oliver Davie." 



' ' I am just in receipt of ' Field Notes ' 

 and ' Book of Dates ' which you so kindly 

 sent me. Of the latter, I can say with 

 Chancellor Winchell, ' It occupies worthily 

 an important place absolutely unfilled to 

 this time. ' Of the former, it is just what 

 I have long needed, and j'ou deserve as 

 much credit for the inception of these as 

 for the tasteful manner in which they are 

 executed. Harry G. Parker." 



" They are both necessities indeed, and 

 every live collector should find a place for 

 them in his drawer of indispensables.
