TAYLOR'S NEW 



Standard Eg Catalogue 



SECOND EDITION 



This is a valuable feature which is 

 "taking" with the best collectors. It 

 costs but 25 cents (this fee for com- 

 position) to insert all data as to spec- 

 ialists in eggs, whether buy or sell, 

 what exchange, etc. The book is to 

 to be elegantls printed with large cir- 

 culation, and will be Standard for_ 

 years. I am materially aided by such 

 well-known Oologists as Hon. John 

 Lewis Childs, A. E. Price, C. W. 

 Crandall, A. W. Johnson, John W. 

 Daniels, Jr., J. Claire Wood, C. B. 

 Johnson. Philo W. Smith, Jr., Joseph 

 Grinnell, Guy C. Conley, J. C. A. 

 Meeker, J. H. Bowles, Fred M. Dille, 

 Chas. S. Thompson and others too 

 numerous to mention here. 



It will have valuable hints, the wisdom 

 of years, boiled down, as to eggs, pack- 

 ing, exchanging, notes on certain species, etc. 



Price of Catalogue, which will be printed in 

 large type, much more convenient size, fine 

 paper, with instructions in egg collecting 

 and many good features, is only 25 cents. 

 TO ALL who send 50 cents for copy and in- 

 sertion in Oologist and Directory feature will 

 mail at once two copies of 1st edition free. 



The work was to be out July 20th, but I 

 have since received word that electrotypes I 

 am to receive from New York through the 

 kindness of Mr. Childs will not be ready be- 

 fore August. This will provide more time 

 to hear from hundreds of collectors. Let us 

 have your views as to prices. Many eastern 

 species will be advanced. ADVERTISE- 

 MENTS are $10; page; $5,50, half page; $3. 

 quarter page. This is the last call. You'll 

 be sorry if you are not in it. 



Faithfully yours, Oologically,
