ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. 



We are under obligations to the Interior 

 Department for a copy of Major Powell's beau- 

 tifully illustrated report of Explorations ot 

 the Colorado River of the West, and its trib- 

 utaries, during the years, 1869 to 1872 inclu- 

 sive. 



Also for a copy of Dr. Coue's Birds of the 

 Northwest, a hand-book of the ornithology 

 of the region drained by the Missouri River 

 and its Tributaries. This valuable work is 

 published with the reports of the Hayden's 

 Geological Survey of which it forms a part. 



Flora Columbiana. — This Catalogue of 

 the plants of the District of Columbia, which 

 has appeared in several numbers of Field and 

 Forest, is now published in pamphlet form, 

 and is ready for distribution. It has been pre- 

 pared by a committee of botanists appointed 

 by the Naturalists' Club, and is the record of 

 the botanical explorations of the club for the 

 last five years. 



Brereton's catalogue, " Flora Columbiance 

 Prodromus" published in 1 830, and now out 

 of print, is the only previous attempt that has 



been made to give a complete list of the plants 

 of this locality. 



For price, &c, see advertisement upon next 

 page. 



A Word to the Wise. — In this age of 

 music, no family in comfortable circumstances 

 can afford to be without a piano, and yet, to 

 expend $400, or $500 in one lump, seems like 

 paying very dear for the whistle. As a heavy 

 percentage of the amount must go to the deal- 

 er for his commission, those in want of a good 

 serviceable instrument can do no better than 

 to purchase of the U. S. Piano Co., and put 

 the commission in their own pockets.
