28th volume of our little magazine. We haveendeavored during the past year to furnish our readers with such bird matteras we believed would be acceptable, and such illustrations as would bestillustrate the same.

We must have subscribers, adver-tisers and contributors. For these, our friends, we must look to you. R. M. BARNES. 182 THE OOLOGIST

In those days, I becameacquainted with Craven—had con-siderable correspondence with him,and visited him at his home in Holley.I found that he had taken at differ-ent times, in that end of the county,some specim
