Removal. 



Looking forwaid to a final and permanent 

 location for a business loiifj established, we 

 have located at Hyde Park, Mass. In a previous 

 number of the O. & O. we gave a description 

 of our main building, or museum, as we 

 called it last season. We moved our office in 

 Boston to more commodious quarters, but 

 after a years' trial find that the vast stock of 

 natural history material that we carry requires 

 still more room. Further we find that our 

 original plans of consolidating our entire 

 business at one place where it can be under 

 the personal supervision of the writer is 

 demanded by the natural increase of business. 

 So we have discontinued our Boston office 

 and removed our entire business as above. 

 Our works are located at the Ilazle- 

 wood station, on the Providence Division of 

 the Old C-olony Railroad, seven miles from 

 Boston, trains running hourly. 



In the main building the upper floor has 

 been fitted up for a display room, and contains 

 m.any rare and valuable specimens, — also min- 

 erals, shells and land and marine curios. The 

 lower fioor is divided, one room devoted to eggs 

 and birds' skins, and the other to naturalist's 

 supplies. 



A new building 20 x 40 is nearly completed, 



which is to be used for work rooms, and as 

 is required other small buildings will be 

 added. Each department will be so arranged 

 that our patrons who visit us can see the 

 goods in which they are interested to the best 

 advantage. 



As soon as we are able we shall issue cata- 

 logues of all our specimens which we have on 

 hand, and copies will be sent to all who have 

 purchased goods from us during the past year. 



We have a large stock of stuffed birds which 

 we propose to exchange for birds' skins. 



Birds' eggs will be exchanged for others 

 such as we require, and for birds' skins. 



SUPPLIES. 



We shall increase our stock in this line 

 largely in excess of what we have ever carried 

 so as to be able to fill all orders without delay. 



PAPIER MACHE HEADS. 



The manufacture of this line of goods is 

 now being pushed so that large orders can be 

 filled upon receipt of same. 



GLASS EYES. 



We shall continue to carry a full stock of 

 glass eyes manufactured by Mr. Thomas 

 Hurst of Birmingham, whose make has long 

 been acknowledged the best in the world. 



TAXIDERMY. 



AV^e shall increase our facilities in this 

 department, and with the best workmen that 

 can be employed propose to do the work at 

 popular prices. 



SCHOOL COLLECTIONS. 



. We shall pay particular attention to furnish- 

 ing type collections at moderate prices. 



Spoitsmen, Naturalists, Taxidermists and 

 Teachers are cordially invited to visit us and 

 examine our stock. 

 Catalogues t-ent on application.

Brief Notes. 



Robert Dresser on May 20, took a Catbird's 

 nest containing four eggs and one egg of the 

 Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Is our Cuckoo in 

 danger of imitating its English cousin ?
