PACKING SPECIMENS ALREADY EXPANDED, &C. 27 



Do this and your box is bound to go safely. 



You can also put in pamphlets and other printed matter along with your 

 butterfly boxes, but in that case you must state so in the direction under 

 " Specimens of Nat. History," thus, " Samples of Publication on Nat. His- 

 tory," or whatever it is ; but be careful and, as I before cautioned you, never 

 put any letter or other writing in, also put nothing more in than what you 

 state on the outside of the box to be its contents. 



You have now all ready for shipment, and though it has cost you trouble, 

 it has been a pleasure to you nevertheless, and you anticipate many additions 

 and new treasures for your collection as the result of this lot. 



If you live in New York, you have only to have your box delivered at the 

 office of the Morris European and American Express, 50 Broadway, N. Y. ; 

 get it insured if you wish to they will do that for you, too, at a moderate 

 rate and should the vessel go down taking your box with it you will receive 

 its value in money, which, of course, isn't as satisfactory by half as having 

 your box reach its destination in safety, but, as " man proposes and God dis- 

 poses," as our old copy-book headers used to say, it is still better than to get 

 nothing at all. 



Having paid your insurance and got the receipt therefor, and bill of lading, 

 you have nothing further to worry about ; your box will go safe and be de- 

 livered at the door of your consignee, be it in Liverpool or St. Petersburg, 

 Alexandria, Bombay, Cape Town, or anywhere else. 



There are also other trans- Atlantic Express Cos., but this is the one that has 

 done my principal business, and has always done it well, safely and rapidly, 

 in less time and at less cost than any other company. Their Central European 

 Office is at present 7 Rue d'Antin, Paris.

If you live inland, your nearest Express or Transportation Co. will take 

 your box to the nearest office of the Morris European and American Express, 

 and give you a receipt for its safe delivery ; you can also, if necessary or de- 

 sirable, write at time of shipment, to the Company's Office, advising of fact of 

 shipment and giving or asking any information desirable. 



If you live in the United States, you can, through this company, have any- 

 thing brought from Europe or elsewhere, by advising your correspondents to 

 ship by them, as through them you can get a box from St. Petersburg to San 

 Francisco and vice versa. 



A box of the size described will cost, to send from New York City to any 

 part of Germany, $4.00 ; this covers all expense except Custom House Duties, 

 but objects of Natural History are exempt from all duties whatever. 



For further particulars of rates, &c., the Morris European and American 

 Express circulars furnish full details, besides much other valuable information ; 

 these can be had on application, by mail or otherwise, at any of the Company's 

 Offices. 



If you wish to send from the United States to Canada, or vice versa, the 

 same- precautions are necessary and must be observed, as there are also Custom 

 Houses on the Canadian line, but you can forward your boxes, &c., to Canada 

 by the Central Express whose agencies arc almost everywhere in N. America.
