WILLIAM T. HORNADAY. 



[For Eight Years Chief Taxidermist of the U. S. National Museum.] 



It goes without saying tliat this is the best vvorl< in the market for the use of 

 the Naturalist, since the author is at the head of his profession, and he has 

 spared no time nor trouble to make the book complete. 



It not only covers all the ground as a te.xt-book for the beginner, but any 

 Taxidermist will be repaid by a perusal of its pages, and once read, it will lie 

 on the work bench, as a companion to the scissors and skinning knife, for it is as 

 indispensable to one who desires to be a WORKIVIAN, as is the frame work 

 of the specimen itself.
