As We See Them. 



The Osprey, (Washington, D.C., 321 4& St) still 

 continues to contain the best of articles and illus- 

 trations of bird life. They will soon commence the 

 publication af a new work on N. A. Birds. 



The Wisconsin Naturalist, (Milwaukee, Wis.) is a 

 new publication, which one would suppose to be 

 devoted to the Natural Sciences. Judging from the 

 editorial pages of the October issue, we are unde- 

 cided whether the editor is a politician or a man 

 with a mistaken destiny. Published under the 



head of 'borrowed thoughts' we take the following; 

 "Lower the price of money, and you elevate the 

 price of labor, the poor man's stock in trade"; 

 ' ; It is better to be a poor but honest 'calamity 

 howler' than a lying hypocritical prosperity boom- 

 er". Do you call that Natural Science. 



The Western Ornithologist (C.C.Tryon, Publisher, 

 Avoca, la.) is a new venture, the initial number 

 will appear Jan. 15th, next. It will be issued bi- 

 monthly and contain from twenty to fourty pages. 

 We wish it success.
