IVOTICE« OF THE : 
The Young Oolt^gist promises tdhc of great value to all who are interested in studying birds, 
the collecting of their eggs, and specimens of natural history in general. It gives useful and prac- 
tical information regarding ornithology and oology. It atiswers ^11 questions sent in from month 
to month, thus meeting the practical wants of all subscribers. — Providence, R. I., Evening Tele- 
gram, July 8 , 1SS4. 
It is a bright paper which gives in popular language a great amount of useful information 
about birds, eggs, nests and collecting. — Ha7id-Book 0/ the St. Nicholas Agassiz Association. 
The Young Oologist, published by Frank Lattin, Oaines, N. Y., makes its debut this month ; 
we give it a hearty welcome ; quite a number of our readers are making collections of eggs and 
natural curiosities, we will say to them if they want to know the habits cf birds and how to make 
collections that will be vahi.Tble and add to their scientific knowledge, they should by all means 
get the Yoi XG Oologist. We have seen collections of eggs that were not properly blown and 
identified, they are therefore of no value. There is a right way and a wrong way of doing things; 
the right way is always the best. — Rio Grande, N. J., Times. 
It is a positive fact that the Young Oologist, of Gaines, N. Y., is the best and most practical 
bird egg paper we have yet seen, and we do not hestitate to recommend it to collectors of that 
branch. — Collector % Exchange. 
"Your paper is certainly a live one and of great value for the class for whom it is designed." — 
S. E. Cassino. 
"I have received three natural history papers and I think the Young Oologist is the best." — 
F. C. Petaliuna, Cal. 
"I think it is well worth a dollar, and intend to renew my subscription at any price." — F. M. 
Sherin, Milwaukee. Wis. 
''I am very much pleased with your paper and would not take the price I paid for it after I have 
read it all through." — C. V. Alystyne, Chatham Centre, New York. 
"I received February number of Young Oologist last night, and before the evening was gone 
I decided to take it, and I would be perfectly willing to give the other 40 cents the day that you 
decide to increase the size of it. In fact I would be willing to give %\.oo for it jiist as it is." — P. L. 
Ong, He7inepin, III. 
"I have never seen a magazine that contained so much information in as small a space." — E. 
M. Charnot, Buffalo, N. Y. 
"Your little Young Oologist is better with every number. It is an energetic, interesting lit- 
tle treasure, and I predict for the Young Oologist that inside of five years it will find its proper 
place among our larger and older literary and art magazines."— //arrj G. Parker, Chester, Pa. 
"In regard to the Young Oologist — a work which I find one of the most complete and valu- 
able ever published in pamphlet form for young oologist. I am a subscriber to five other works on 
ornithology and oology, but prefer tliis to all others, and certainly in price it is superior to all other 
works, and a work that all collectors, either large or smalj, should subscribe for. I anxiously 
await each edition. It is a work that I prize very highly, and as long as there is an edition you 
will find me a life-long subscriber." — H. F. Kramp, Wallingford, Conn.
