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 monthly 

 publication there is natural delay of from 10 to 

 30 or more days. 



In the Natural Science Mews 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.
