It is the only publication in America in which 

 dealers and collectors are sure of having their 

 notices placed In the hands of all working Nat- 

 uralists almost as soon as if done by addressing 

 each by letter— while in an ordinary montHy 

 publication there is natural delay of from 10 to 

 30 or more days. 



In the Natural Science News this delay will 

 be obviated. 



All copy must reach us at least three days 

 prior to date of issue in order to insure inser- 

 tion in a given number.

 Chalcedony Geodes in the Bad

 goose egg and lined with brilliant spark- 

 ling, frost-like white crystals; a few 

 amethystine tinted and a few with tran- 

 sparent selenite, and others like snow.

Collectors Attention ! 



As many have expressed their regret at not being able to avail 

 themselves of the unprecedented offers in Mr. Lattin's "Special 

 June Bulletin" on account of the short time ailowed I have de- 

 cided to extend the time through the month of July on everything 

 therein, except on birds eggs and scientific shells of which a new 

 list will be sent all applicants. 



Remember, this offer absolutely expires Aug. 1st, and will not be 

 extended. Orders under 50c must contain 5c extra for postage
