The fact that Wm. T. Hornaday's new book on 

 Taxidermy'is published by Chas. Scribners Sons, 

 needs uo further recomend. We will send circu-

Received: The Spy Glass, Vol.1, No. 1. We 

 looked through it and could discern Roy F. 

 Green of Arkansas City, Kansas, in the etjitoral- 

 chair, and Lester Balliet of Iowa, collecting Ro 

 tanical notes, and is the longest ranged sight we 

 ever heard of except the "Lick Observatory." 



We would kindly thank all those receiving sam . 

 pie copies of this paper to just drop us a postal 

 card if they do not wish for further copies. 



We wish to obtain back numbers of The 

 Auk of 1890 and '91. All having such to dispose 



f, we will give good equivalent for same. 



Don't fail to secure the November number. To 

 be the best number yet issued.
