 had used them. They are as good a spur as I 

 ever tried and I think I am safe in sayinu' that if

"AH the supplies ordered came duly to liand.a'l

 book of datas is immense and the Naturalist's 

 Guide Is well worth the price. I wish to compli-

 that I received could hardly have bein better 

 fixed for transportation. Am more impi-essert
