 ren's or Wilson's works. Also back Nos. of the Auk, Ibis. Ornithologist and Oologist, Nidiol- 

 ogist or any other Natural Science Journal printed in last 50 years. 



Thousands <jf dollars woith of books have accumulated in the libraries of our public insti- 

 tutions and public men, most of which cost them nothing and are valued at about as much. 

 The demand tor specializing in the various branches of science makes many of them of inter- 

 est. Send your list of State and Government publications and state what you want to ex- 

 change for. 



We also desire nice fossils from all sections, nice showy crystalized minerals, anything in 

 the curio line. 



We have a special call for Helix and Uniod.t from all parts of the U. S. Fine modern In- 

 dian Relics, such as beaded tobacco pouches, war clubs, etc , ancient stone and flint relics or 

 all kinds desired. Do not particularly care for points but want drills, axes, celts, hammer 

 stones, pipes, pottery, discoidals, gorgets, banner stones, bird annulets, etc , any copper of 

 bone implements, iron axe or tomahawks. Rare clutches of birds eggs and the rarer skins 

 always desired. 



Parties having large collections of anything listed above or know of really desirable col- 

 lections will favor us by dropping a card in regard to it. 



I CAN OFFER in exchange a veiy tine assortment of birds eggs in sets or singles, fully 

 200 kinds and several thousandrspecimens, some good Florida bird and mammal sKins, sub- 

 scriptions to the Museum and copies of our O. & O. Manual, fully 100 kinds of minerals that, 

 we have a large surplus of, some nice fossils from Bad Lands, Ohio, etc., curios, such as 

 Shark, Skate or Devil Fish Eggs, Hermit Crab in shell. Shark and Alligator Teeth and a hun- 

 dred other curios, some choice Star Fish, several kinds Sea Urchins, etc , Sea Ferns, Fans, 

 Sponges, Flexible Coral, ett^, fine marine shells from Florida, fully 100 kinds, and for extra, 

 desirable material will offer books and supplies of all kinds. 



We prefer large exchanges to small ones as it is frequently as much labor to attend to a 

 41.00 exchange as to a $10.00 one. However send us lists of what you have and if you do not 

 get a reply promptly you may conclude we cannot use the material vou offer at present. 

 Faithfully, WALTER F. WEBB, Mgr., Albion, N. Y.
