 of North America known to date, togethei with the

IDENTIFICATTON ! 



During the past few years we have cheerfully at- 

 tempted to 



IDENTIFY ALL SPECIMENS 



our friends have sent us, and this without remunera- 

 tion ; but owing to the fact that we are now receiving 

 packages by the dozen for this purpose, and that our 

 time is more than occupied with our regular business, 

 in the future we shall be obliged to charge our 

 friends in addition to return postage the following 



I?,.A.TE S : 



Single or first Specimen, - 10 <i\s. 



Second to tenth Specimen, - 3 (5ts. each. 

 Eleventh Specimen and over, - 2 (5\s. " 



The above rates for identifying we think very rea- 

 sonable. We have spent several years in handling 

 and studying specimens of various kinds, and have on 

 hand a very large stock with which comparisons can 

 be made. We also have the leading works to use as 

 reference. The advantage of having specimens 

 properly identified is invaluable to collectors.

 catalogue invaluable to collectors as a basis of ex- 

 change. It names the various families into which the 

 birds of North America are divided, and enumerates 

 the birds belonging to each family. It gives, approx- 

 imately, the number of eggs in a clutch of every 

 American bird. . It tells how to prepare specimens for
