BY 



OLIVER DAVIE, 



Author of "Nests and Egg's of North 

 American Birds," etc. 



Containing Ninety Full Page Engravings, over 

 Five Hundred Figures minutely illustrating 

 the most practical methods practiced in the art. 

 It teaches in detail, sten by step, the Skinning 

 and Stuffling of Birds, Mammals, Crustaceans, 

 Fishes'and Reptiles, together with illustrations 

 of forms and Attitudes of the Animal Kingdom. 

 The text is by Oliver Davie, who has made 

 Taxidermy his life study and profession. The 

 originals of the illustrations were made in In- 

 dia ink from time to time as the actual subjects 

 could be obtained from which to make the va- 

 rious procedures. They were drawn by the 

 eminent Bird and Mammal Artist.— Theodore 

 Jasper, A. M., M. D.. whose experience in the 

 Art of Taxidermy extends over a perion of fifty 

 years. Every illustration by this artist is a 

 work of art. Among these engravings are re- 

 productions from photographs of actual work 

 by American Taxidermists. Each copy of this 

 book is enclosed in box for shipment and is 

 sent prepaid upon receipt of price. 



In one Quarto Volume, Silk Cloth, Gilt
