Lattin's Standard Catalogue 



North American Birds Eggs. 



New Edition for 1896 now ready. 



Enlarged, revised, corrected and brought up to date of going to 

 press (Feb. 20th). Giving all of the new A. O. U. changes and ad- 

 ditions. Also divided and sub-divided into orders, sub -orders, fami- 

 lies, and sub-families. 



Values are based on the 1893 ones which were determined by 

 the compiler, from invaluable notes, suggestions and assistance from 

 Major Chas. E. Bendire, J. Parker Morris, Esq , and the late Cap- 

 tain B. F. Goss. 



In addition to these notes, which have been carefully recorded, 

 the compiler has had suggestions from over Forty leading Amer- 

 ican Oologists, all of which have been carefully considered anJ 

 where advisable, adopted. 



Lattin's Catalogue has long been recognized by leading Oolo- 

 gists as the "Standard" and the new one will be recognized by 

 the majority as being more consistent than any former one. The 

 compiler, however, intends to issue a new one early in 1897 — and 

 desiring the assistance of every working Oologist, in making values, 

 etc. (These suggestions must be sent in by Nov. ist, '96; on this 

 account he has concluded to place the new 1896 edition at the fol- 

 lowing nominal rates, viz: 



Single copy, post-paid 12 cents. 



2 copies, postpaid for 20 cents. 



6 " " "50 cents. 



15 " " " $1.00. 



Address, 



FRANK H. LATTIN, Publisher, 



ALBION, N. Y. 



Free: Your assistance and opinion is desired for the '97 cata- 

 logue in order that it may truly be considered the "Standard" for 

 all working Oologists. In order to get this opinion I will mail an 

 additional copy gratis to every purchaser of one or more copies of 

 my '96 edition, providing they will mark their ideal values therein 

 and return to me not later than Nov. ist, 1896. 



Faithfully, "LATTIN."
