FINE SHELLS. 



Another famous Philadelphia Collection of Cy- 



praea and other Shells just added to our 



already large stock. 



Since the publication of the July number 

 we have added the .finest lot of Cypi:ci we 

 have ever handled. It comprised as com- 

 plete an assortment as money can buy The 

 rarest specimen was Vyprna giUtaln which 

 we nave sold at an even $100 cash, probably 

 the largest figure ever paid by any American 

 collector for a single shell. We shall not 

 print a complete list of this collection for 

 many rareiies are either already sold or 

 spoken for but the collection as a whole is 

 <|Uite largely intact. To give an idea of some 

 of the suites, note the following which is 

 copied from an accurate catalogue in our 

 possession .

This i-imply gives an idea of some of the 

 large suites. We have over 100 species not 

 ou the above list ranging from one to ten 

 speciiuens each, some of the rarer sorts being 

 aurantia, decipieus exusta. leucostonia, scot- 

 tei, lii'ovoi. cuuiingii. margarita, eelantina, 

 gemmuhi. crcgori. rhinoceros, teres, leutigin- 

 osa, listeri, microdon and many others. 

 Thi're were many rare color patterns. For 

 instance a j«t black i)aullierina also dark red 

 ones Fully 75 species are represented by 

 various stages of young from the "bulla form" 

 up. Many distorted species were found. In 

 fact taking Sowerby's Colored Monograph of 

 the Cypriia and excluding a few species that 

 have never been represented in any Ameri- 

 can collection, we had practically every color 

 pattern represented in said work, also 

 Reeve's Monograph of said genus. 



Aside from the cypra-a we secured a very 

 choice generic collection with suites such as 

 SO species of Achatinella .50 species of large 

 Bulimus, most all species of Partula correctly 

 named and some choice representatives of 

 Murex, Olives. Cones &c. In all there were 

 close on to 2000 species, besides Cypn^a, re- 

 presenting practically every known genus in 

 the world. 



Mr John Campbrll, whose collection we 

 are describing was the first President of the 

 American Association of Conchologistsin this 

 country. He was a man of means and refine- 

 ment, and able to have the finest specimens 

 in the market. We would like to hear from 

 every collector who would like some of these 

 choice shells. Give us an idea of your pre- 

 ference. We will send on approval and price 

 specimens reasonable. We want your trade 

 and small buyers of from $1 up will receive 

 equally careful attention. Great care will be 

 taken in labeling. Every month we are add- 

 ing new and regular customers to our list. 

 Fine specimens and reasonable prices is the 

 secret of it all. • 



Maine Deer and Moose Heads. 



Fifteen Deer and Two Moose Heads have 

 just been received. The Moose are 45 and .50 

 dollars each respectively. They are large 

 black heads and nicely mounted The Deer 

 Heads were all mounted by a strictly first 

 classman. In fact we would not accept a 

 head from any other source at any price. 

 Our uniform price for a fine Buck Head with 

 handsome antlers will be $10 but we have a 

 partial Albino Head at $15 an extra large 

 M line Head with long neck and part of 

 shoulders at $1S. One nice large Western 

 Deer Head at $20. Fine Caribou Head, $18. 



i hese heads will please you, as they have 

 every visitor to our rooms the past month. 

 They are l.iELIke and have none of the 

 •STUFKED" expression of many specimens we 

 have seen. We have two or three heads with 

 horns shaped well for a rack forgunsorother 

 sporting goods. To a buyer of 5 or 10 heads 

 we wi'l make a figure that will be satisfac- 

 tory.
