THE NEW EGG CATALOG 



After a prolonged delay, due to the activities of the 

 collecting season just past and to a lengthy discussion of 

 points of vital import, the Committee of Twenty-five 

 wish to announce through the columns of The Oologist 

 in reply to numerous inquiries, that the reports of prac- 

 tically all of the committeemen are in the hands of the 

 Committee on Final Adjustment. 



Knowing, as all oologists do, of the ability and integ- 

 rity of this committee, Messrs. Bowles, Willard and Har- 

 low, the Committee of Twenty-five, feel that within a short 

 time, the proof will be ready for the printer. 



In addition to the price list, the catalog will contain a 

 number of chapters on practical oology in its various 

 l)hases written by men of wide experience in egg collecting 

 and study. 



The committee feel pride in stating that the catalog 

 will be more than a mere price list, but will be more in 

 tlie nature of a hand book that they hope will be of real 

 value to every oologist in Nortli America.
