OUR SUPPLEMENT 



For man)' years and several generations the name "Jacobs" 

 has been associated with the Ornithology of Western Pennsyl- 

 vania. 



J. Warren Jacobs is one of the well-known family of bird 

 students and for many years was one of the very leading 

 oologists of the United States; his collection at one time be- 

 ing ranked as one of the very largest and best. He was noted 

 for being an Oologist that was always on the square; a care- 

 ful student, a close observer and an enthusiastic and energetic 

 field collector. His datas were always artistic in appearance 

 and complete in detail. 



Of late years Mr. Jacobs has given much of his time and at- 

 tention to the development of the bird's house industry and 

 is today one of the leading producers along that line in Amer- 

 ica; success in more ways than one has crowned his efforts 

 and being always of an artistic turn of mind occasionally this 

 element in his nature bubbles over and asserts itself in spite 

 of the strenuosity of business cares. Mr. Jacobs has generous- 

 ly contributed to the readers of The Oologist the supplement 

 which goes to them with this issue and for which we certainly 

 are all under obligation to him.
