EDITORIAL. 



Another change has taken place in the 

 Naturalists 1 Advertiser. Owing to 

 reasons best known to ourselves we have 

 been obliged to change the name and gen- 

 eral style of the paper, which will hereafter 

 labor under the name of The American 

 Osprey. We hope that our subscribe! s 

 will not be displeased, in fact, we cannot 

 see how they can be as the change im- 

 proves the appearance and contents so 

 much. We shall keep up the large circu- 

 lation which the Advertiser had, and shall 

 circulate, not only among ornithologists 

 and oologists, but among all kinds of col- 

 lectors. 



We shall be glad to receive from any 

 collector, notes or descriptions of birds, 

 their nests, or eggs. We wish to enlarge 

 the number of pages and make ihe Os- 

 prey more interesting, and we cannot do 

 this without the co-operation of all col- 

 lectors. 



We hope to be able to present a few il- 

 lustrations in our next issue, but we must 

 receive many more subscriptions to do it.-
