With this issue we publish the last 

 of the series of photos taken of the 

 North American Wild Geese, nesting 

 on our home place. The Lesser Snow 

 Goose, Chen hyperborea. No other 

 publication in America has had the 

 privilege of displaying to its readers 

 the home life of so many varieties of 

 wild geese as The Oologist.

With this issue the Oologist ex- 

 hausts the supply of copy on hand 

 which is unaccompanied with photo- 

 graphs. We specially ask our readers 

 to send us copy of this kind at once 

 and in large quantity. Copy accom- 

 panied by photographs which require 

 the making of half tones is very ex- 

 pensive and hence we need at least 

 five unillustrated articles to each one 

 which is accompanied by photographs. 

 Please help support the Oologist.
