aside to dry. Ihe ac- 

 companying figures 

 were drawn from the 

 finished tongue of 

 the tiger represented 

 in Plate I., where it 

 is seen in place.- 



Wheii the tongue is dry it must be painted with oil colors, 

 using a little turpentine so that the surface shall not be too 

 glossy, nor have a varnished look. Vermilion and white are 

 the best colors to use, and above all do not make the tongue or 

 lips look like pink candy, or red flannel, or red sealing-wax. 



Call up the household cat at an early stage 

 of the proceedings, and use her mouth as a 

 model, whether she will or no. A patient old 

 tabby is an invaluable ally in the mounting 

 of feline animals of all sorts, and Towser will 

 also help you out with your Canidce. When modeling the 

 mouth or muscles of a gorilla or orang utan, catch the first 

 amateur taxidermist you can lay your hands on the wilder 

 and greener the better and use him as your model. Study 

 him, for he is fearfully and wonderfully made. The way 

 some of my good- 

 natured colleagues 

 used to pose for me 

 as (partly) nude mod- 

 els at Ward's, when 

 I once had a ten- 

 months' siege with 

 orangs, gorillas, and 

 chimpanzees, was a 

 constant source of 



wonder and delight to the ribald crew of osteologists who knew 

 nothing of high art. 



Fortunately the tongues of most large mammals are smooth,
