The 2d. edition of Davie's "Egg Vhech 

 Lint" is exhausted and we have not a single 

 copy left even for reference. The new 

 edition which is in Press (See announce- 

 ment on cover page of this Oologist) bids 

 fair to be of many times greater value than 

 any previous one. During the past few 

 years we have sold fifteen hundred copies 

 of this invaluable work and we have yet to 

 find the first collector that does not consid- 

 er it well worth the amount invested. 



We need about 50 copies of the Dec. '86 

 and Jan. '87 Oologist (they were stitched 

 together) and will allow 10 cts. each in ex- 

 change for them, until we receive the 

 required number; all must be in good 

 condition.
