PUBLISHERS'S DEPARTM'T 



Going West. 



The advice given by Horace 

 Greeley so many years ago, to go 

 west, is being followed every day 

 by an increasingly large number of 

 men and women. Some go to 

 stay, to build new homes, others 

 for pleasure, still others go to look 

 after great business interests, but 

 they go, and they one and all wish 

 to go by a route which combines 

 safety, speed and convenience in 

 traveling. This is the reason why 

 so many choose the Nickel Plate 

 Road. From Buffalo to Chicago 

 its line lies almost as straight as 

 an arrow, and intersected at such 

 frequent intervals by connecting 

 roads that the map looks as if the 

 road should be named "Through 

 line to everywhere." More than 

 thirty connections are given, reach- 

 ing out in every direction. Then 

 too, many travelers demand a cer- 

 tain amount of luxury when travel- 

 ing, and Wagner cars between New 

 York, Boston, Buffalo, and Chica- 

 go. The uniformed colored por- 

 ters in charge of day coaches, and 

 the unsurpassed dining car service, 

 supply this. Accommodations may 

 be secured in advance by address- 

 ing Mr. F. J. Moore, 23 Exchange 

 St., Buffalo, N. Y. He can give 

 details as to rates, connections, 

 and all necessary arrangements, 

 both east and west of Chicago. —

Our Premium List Supplement, 

 mailed with last week's issue, 

 promises to be an unrivaled sub- 

 scription getter and renewer. We 

 wish, however, to state that in no 

 instance will we allow a party to 

 extend his subscription for more 

 than one year for either or both 

 publications — e. g. should a party 

 send in an order for $2.00 worth of 

 Premiums this order would entitle 

 him to a year's subscription to 

 both publications, the Oologist and 

 Natural Science News — a $10 or- 

 der would entitle him to the same 

 and no more — in other words we 

 can neither allow nor afford to ex- 

 tend a subscription in connection 

 with our offer beyond Feb. 1st, 

 1897 to the Natural Science News 

 or beyond Jan. '97 or one year 

 from expiration of present sub- 

 scription to the Oologist. 



Come to Florida. 



A fortune can be made in a few years 

 in pineapples and tomatoes; vegetables 

 raised the whole year. An ideal home.

The Oologist. 



The Oologist is without question the most popular and instructive magazine, 

 devoted to Birds, their Nests and Eggs, ever published, and while of spec al 

 value to the Oologist and Ornithologist, its publisher is not alone in his belief 

 that Teachers, Scientists, Naturalists and Curiosity Collectors in all departments 

 will find the Oologist not only worthy of their attention, but their Subscriptions. 

 With 1896, The Oologist enters its thirteenth volume, and it will be the aim 

 of its publisher, with the aid of its subscribers, to make it of greater value than 

 any preceding one. The Oologist is sent post-paid to any part of the World 



FOR ONLY 75 CENTS. 



Every subscriber received for 1896 will be mailed a card which will entitle the 

 person addressed to a free Exchange Notice of 25 words in The Oologist, if 

 used within one year from date. 



'the following taken from the Empire Slate Exchange tells how it is valued by 

 one of its many admirers. 



"By the arrival of each of our 200 (or over) exchanges, none give us more 

 pleasure than that of the Oologist, published by Mr. Frank H. Lattin, of Albi- 

 on, N. Y. It is devoted exclusively to collecting and studying birds; and their 

 nests and eggs. It is one of the few of our exchanges that is wholly original in 

 every detail. The articles published come from the pens of live and enthusiastic 

 collectors in all parts of the United States. ***** The fact that this interest- 

 ing magazine has over 2000 subscribers shows that it is well liked by the Orni- 

 thological and Oologicai worlds." 



We might also add to the above that the Oologist is the leading publication in 

 America in which Collectors publish their "Exchanges, Wants aud For Sales." 

 Each number contains from fifty to one hundred, from which many Collect- 

 ors have already profited ten times the amount paid for a year's subscription. 



If you are not already a paid subscriber to the OOLOGIST send in your Sub- 

 scription or Renewal by Return Mail. 



SAMPLE COPY FREE. 



All new subscribers will receive the balance of '95 free. 



See Premium List Supplement and get $1.00 worth of specimens, etc., etc., for 

 only 25cts. in connection with your subscription to the Oologist.

On October 11, 1895, a well-known Dealer and 

 Advertiser writes: 



' 'I am very much pleased with the results 

 of former advertisements. 1 have spent Hun- 

 dreds of Dollars in advertising but have 

 never met with such results as from your pub- 

 lications . 



Have received orders from every State in 

 the Union as well as from Germany, England 

 and Canada . ' '
