JOTTINGS. 



T. D. Pekry, of Savannah, 6a., adds 

 sets of the Swainson's Warbler and Florida 

 Chewink to this season's work. 



W. E. Hall, Jr., of Salem, N. C, is 

 furnishing a series of articles on the birds 

 of tliat State, for tlie Pcoplc'ii Press, of that 

 citv. 



We clip the following from the Liberty- 

 ville (111.) Lake County Call, of July 27th : 



On Monday a flock of Great White He- 

 rons was noticed, flying over the river 

 woods, and a party of local Nimrods went 

 after them. They lirought back three of 

 them on their return ; and they are now in 

 the hands of our local taxidermist, Mr. L. 

 W. Nichols, for mounting. The birds are 

 pure white in color, stand between three 

 and four feet high, and liave a spread of 

 nearly five feet, and are. withal, very beau- 

 tiful. 



Collectors will do well to read the card 

 of Mr. M. H. Bickley, of Chester, Pa., in 

 this issue. His labels are really superb, and 

 are well worth the price he asks for a set. 

 Send the stamp for sample, and see for 

 yourself. 



JtiNE last we sent Mr. C. S. Hobbie 

 (Hampton, la.) our entire stock of small 

 fossils. As Mi;. H. does not care for so 

 many duplicates, he wishes to exchange 

 for desirable specimens of any kind, min- 

 erals preferred. 



A New Feature in Webster's Una- 

 bridged Dictionary. — The publishers of 

 Webster have recently added to the Una- 

 bridged a ' ' Pronouncing Gazetteer of the 

 World, containing over 25,000 Titles, briefly 

 describing the countries, cities, towns, and 

 natural features of every part of the globe." 

 It covers a hundred pages. 



A. V. Chamberlain, of Minneapolis, 

 Minn., writes: "This spring one of the col- 

 lectors of this city found a nest of the Coop- 

 er's Hawk, containing one egg. He took 

 the egg, and put in its place a hen's egg. 

 He left the nest, and went there again in 

 two days and found another egg, which he 

 took also. He repeated his visits every 

 other day till he had obtained a set of four, 

 when the Hawk left. Is this not remark- 

 able ? Often they leave after climbing the 

 tree once." 



Among our large sales to dealers during 

 the past few months, we desire to mention 

 the following : 



1st. To Mr. C. S. Hobbie, of Hampton, 

 la. , we have closed out our entire stock of 

 named fossils. He will exchange duplicates 

 for almost am^thing in the curiosity line, 

 minerals preferred . 



2d. To Prof. J. A. Singley, of Giddings, 

 Tex., we have sold our entire stock of sci- 

 entifically named shells. Conch ology is 

 one of the professor's specialties; and live 

 collectors will do well to send for his lists. 



8d. We have sold to Messrs. Dickinson & 

 Durkee, of Sharon. Wis., an almost com- 

 plete line of everything we handle. Our
