THE OOLOGIST. 



Know the Wild Flowers? 



Your rambles in field and wood 

 will increase in interest in propor- 

 tion as you know plants as well 

 as birds. 



The American Botanist 



is issued for the plant lover. It 

 contains no technical articles and 

 is just the magazine you need. 

 Get a copy and see for yourself. 



The Butterflies and Moths of Can- 

 ada, with descriptions of their color, 

 size and habit, and the food and met- 

 amorphosis of their larvae. Full in- 

 structions for catching and preserving 

 with a Synopsis of the Butterflies and 

 Moths of Canada. 



This valuable work is out of print 

 and has been regarded as rare for 

 some time — copies selling at $1.50 to 

 $2.50 each, when obtainable. A small 

 lot of new copies was recently "un- 

 earthed" in a publisher's cellar and 

 I obtained the lot — valuable to col- 

 lectors in the United States. Until 

 March 1st will send a copy prepaid 

 for only 66 cents. Money returned by 

 next mail if all sold.

 (gorgeous peacock blue)5ix7in. Either species

 protects it from dust, breakage, etc.. but puts

 infinitely neater than is possible by the anti- 

 quated method of impaling them on pins.

Oological. 



Last spring I purchased the entire 

 stock of birds eggs owned by Chas. 

 K. Reed, of Worcester, Mass., and in 

 the following August I purchased the 

 magnificent private collection of Mr. 

 A. E. Kibbe, of Mayville, N. Y. I am 

 reserving a few sets of each species 

 for my private collection and the res- 

 idue, consisting of thousands of speci- 

 mens, I have no use for and will ex- 

 change for sets new to my collection 

 or will sell at the following very low 

 rates. A rare opportunity for schools, 

 museums, etc., to secure desirable 

 material right. 



Catalogue bargain lists and plates 

 showing the eggs of 40 species, full 

 size and in natural colors, all for 10 

 cents.
