All books, periodicals, specimens, etc., sent us will be reviewed.
Correspondence and items of interest relating to the several departments solicited from all. All matter for publication must be in by the last of each month in order to insure insertion in the next number.
Entered at the postoffice at Cresco, Iowa, as second class matter.
NOTES.
A neat appearing monthly devoted chiefly to philately, hails us from Mexico, N. Y., under the somewhat peculiar name of “Common Sense;” F. A. Thomas, editor. “May it live long and prosper.”
Mr. Oliver Davie has in preparation an article on the golden-crowned thrush, which we expect to publish in a month or so. This is, in his opinion, one of his best efforts, as the bird is an especial favorite with him.
