A neat appearing monthly d: voted 

 ehiefly to philately, hails us from 

 Mexico, N. _"., under the somewhat- 

 peculiar name of "ponniizu Sense;'' 

 F. A. Thomas, editor. "May it live 

 long and prosper.'' 



Mr. Oliver Davie has in prepara- 

 tion an article on the golden-crowned 

 thrush, which we expect to publish 

 in a month or so. This is, in his 

 opinion, one of his best efforts, as the 

 Jjird is an especial favorite with him. 



We notice that the Bay State Oolo- 

 gist appears in an improved though 

 ''condensed" form this month. Suc- 

 cess. 



Datas, 5x8, neatly printed, good 

 paper, bound iu lots of fifty, with 

 flexible cardboard covers, 50 cents

The Cahhar Exchange, published 

 by our friend S. C. Scott, of Calmar, 

 Iowa, comes to our table bright and 

 fresh in its eight-page form and new 

 dress. Those interested in the sub- 

 jects of which it treats will find it an 

 excellent paper at a small price. 



Every person sending me 50 cents 

 for one year's subscription to the 

 Hawkkye Ornithologist and Ool- 

 ogist will receive free six varieties of 

 rare Iowa minerals, labeled. Send 

 postal note. Jamks C. Jay.

Among other fine specimens recent- 

 ly received from Messrs. Schindler & 

 Selover, of Lake City, Minn., was 

 one of the large, showy eggs of the 

 Egyptian vulture, collected in Spain, 

 which they are selling at the very 

 low price of $1.25 each. AVe can take 

 pleasure in recommending this firm 

 as being thoroughly reliable, and as 

 their rates are so extremely low, we 

 bespeak for them a most liberal . pat- 

 ronage. 



The last number of the Collector's 

 Illustrated Magazine, published by E. 

 M. Haight of Riverside, Calif., which, 

 by the way, is our finest exchange, 

 contains, among its many valuable 

 articles, the first installment of a ser- 

 ies on Vireos, by Win. L. Kells, writ- 

 ten in his customary interesting man- 

 ner; also fine articles on "Natural 

 History" by Chas. L. Mason; "Won- 

 derful Mica" by J. J. Alton; and 

 "The Cliff Dwellers of Southwestern 

 Colorado."
