ANNOUNCEMENT. 



One year ago we "launched on 

 the turbulent sea of journalism our 

 candidate for favor among the stu- 

 dents of Birds, their Nests . and 

 Eggs." After a most successful 

 voyage of four issues we were bad- 

 1 v wrecked by a "strong head with 

 high aspirations" to whom we en- 

 trusted the entire welfare and suc- 

 cess of the Oologist's Journal. 



In fact our business matters were 

 so shattered that it has taken us 

 nearly six months to repair them. 

 Only after careful consideration of 

 the most substantial encourage- 

 ment offered and accepted by the 

 present editor, since the first issue 

 of the Journal, we have decided 

 to surprise our many friends and 

 old subscribers with the appear- 

 ance of Vol. II, and in a most at- 

 tractive and becoming form — a c< »i- 

 ored cover. 



We have nothing further to sa \ . 

 but we have "been there," we 

 "have saw," and we have < . 

 quered. What more do we want '. 

 We want to hear from you and 

 every one, we want your contin- 

 ued support. 



In conclusion we will say in our 

 own behalf that the Oologist's 

 Journal, will be issued on the 

 first day of every other month- 

 bi-monthly.
