Fine Shells Accurately Labeled. 



To collectors who wish correctly labeled shells, we can supply suites from the 

 Dr. Lewis collection at prices that cannot fail to satisfy anyone. For many 

 years Dr. Lewis supplied sets of many classes of American shells at loc. per 

 specie of one perfect example. We will do better than this. Of course all the 

 choicest examples of the small land and fresh water shells went into his col- 

 lection and were promptly put into vials and label inside in fine neat writing. 

 The Strcpomatida- were almost wholly in vials and are as neat and clean as 

 when first put there. I-'arties wishing suites of any of the families named be- 

 low should write at once. We have nearly 1600 entries of the families named 

 in first four lines. 



Goniobasis, Angretema, Lithasia, Trypanastoma, Schizastoma, Physa, Eury- 

 codon, Lioplax, Anculosa, Strepobasis, Melantho, Valvata, I3ythinella, Ancy- 

 lus, Vivipara, Tulotoma, Limna', Amnicola, (Jillia, Tryonia, Somatogyrus, 

 Planorbis, Buhminus, lo, Sphaerium, Pisidium, etc., etc. In I^and Shells we 

 have a fine Strigosa series of 75 species and varieties. It is true a great many 

 are now recognized as merely a color variety still they are a most interesting 

 lot, In Foreign Shells, Land, Fresh Water and Marine we can surely interest 

 you. Fine large series of Cypraea, Purpura, Murex, etc., etc. Many hun- 

 dred species of bivalves. An immense lot of Helix, Partula, Clausilia, Cyclo- 

 phorus, Bulimus, Orthalicus, Pupa, l^ythia, Gibbus, Catanlus, Strophia, Mega- 

 lomastoma, Cassidula, Pyrena, Pachychilus, Melania, Paludomus, Tonalia, 

 Vivipara, Auricula, Cylindrella, Achatina, Ampullaria, Marissa, etc., etc. 

 Space will not allow us to outline a hundredth part of the many good things. 



We will add as a testimonial how the Lewis collection has been re- 

 ceived by collectors in the past two weeks, one Western man ordered at once 

 1000 entries of the Strepomatid;f, two of a kind. A Pennsylvania man ordered 

 a complete Lewis Type lot of the American Land Shells and a score of other 

 collectors have ordered on approval sample lots in the particular lines they are 

 most interested in. 



We have not yet decided to break up the I 'iiiodtr''\ but any collector who 

 would like a slice, large or small, of this family in case we do break it up, 

 should write at once and such will have first chance. 



We have issued now a list of some American I'resh Water Shells which will 

 be sent gratis.
