WE'VE COMMENCED. 



Magazines have been published for 

 the suppression of evil, for the diffu- 

 sion of general knowledge, for the in- 

 terests of fashion, for the benefit of 

 the needy, for the good of various 

 causes, for the advancement of busi- 

 ness interests, for the advocacy of 

 certain principles, for the defense of 

 the innocent, for the justification of 

 wrongs, for the comfort of the afflict- 

 ed—this magazine is published for .10 

 cents per annum. 



For a limited time we will give to 

 raisers of clubs a free copy with every 

 five cash subscriptions. 



Next month we shall commence a 

 series of articles on the new preserva- 

 tive method of taxidermy, as our 

 teacher learned it of F. Kaempfer, 

 Chicago's leading taxidermist, many 

 years ago. 



Harry Gr. Parker of Chester, Pa., 

 who is connected with the scientific 

 department of the government in- 

 forms us that he intends to start in a 

 short time for Arizona on a six 

 month's collecting trip. 



.Just before going To press we re- 

 ceived a sample copy of the ressurect- 

 ed HoO&ier Naturalist, Vol. Ill, No, I. 

 It appears as a four page monthly 

 magazine; subscription price 50 cents 

 a year, advertising space $40 per 

 page. Send six cents for sample copy. 



We are indebted to Prof. Oliver 

 Davie for a complimentary copy of his 

 ''Nests and Eggs," of which we have 

 bought his remaining stock. This is 

 a valuable work, which is in the 

 hands of a majority of collectors, and 

 those not having bought a copy 

 should procure one at once for use 

 during the coming spring. 



Our thanks tire due Prof. H. W. 

 Davis for fine sets of scientifically 

 prepared eggs of the California Quail 

 and Chaparral Cock or Road-run- 

 ner. We can recommend Mr. Davis 

 as being a thorough gentleman in 

 every respect, and as he deals only in 

 strictly first-class specimens, he should 

 receive the liberal patronage of all 

 northern oologists.
