We are in receipt of a neat book 

 entitled '* Summer Birds of Greene 

 County, Pennsylvania, published by 

 J. Warren Jacobs, which should be 

 in the hands of all our readers. 



Numerous testimonials have been 

 received in regard to the neatness and 

 general " make-up " of our first issue, 

 but we are unable to use them as we 

 wish to give all the space we can to 

 our natural history subjects. 



If the old subscribers of the " Col- 

 lectors' Monthly" and the " Oologists 



Journal " would kindly drop us a 

 postal card informing us whether they 

 receive our magazine at the proper 

 address, we would esteem it a great 

 favor. 



The world's fair grounds cover 

 nearly 200 acres. A stranger would 

 get lost without a guide among the 

 hundreds of buildings. The handiest 

 and most convenient one is issued by 

 the Chicago Scale Company, Chicago, 

 Illinois, which is furnished free upon 

 application to them, or mailed to any 

 address for two cents to pay postage.
