A NEW LOT OF FOSSILS. 



While on our recent trip south we secured a fine lot of Pliocene Fossils, taken in the vicin- 

 ity of the Caloosahatchie river in Florida This is a region that has had few explorers after 

 fossils and the results are that the specimens possess great interest. The quality of the speci- 

 mens is also good, much better than is usually the case with fossils c f this nature. The species 

 have all been carefully gone over by the curator of one of our leading Pennsylvania museums, 

 carefully sorted up and accurately named. To our notion, fossils are of little value without a 

 name and locality. 



These specimens were secured at a usual depth of twenty feet below the surface of the 

 ground. They are fully wriiten up in the proceedings of the Wagner Free Institute, by Prof. 

 William H. Dall, of the Smithsonian institution, of Washington, D. C .Any collector having 

 access to most any of our larger museums will find the above proceedings and illustrations of 

 the species. 



We offer single specimens at very reasonable prices, or will make up into collections, as 



follows: 



Collection of 50 species, representing a large number of genera, all carefully labeled for 

 $4.00. 



Collection of 75 species, all carefully labeled $7.50. 



Collection i.f 100 species, all carefully labeled $10 00. 



Collection of 200 species, all carefully labelfd $30 00. 



Collection of 200 species, giving suites of each kind, usually of from 3 to 5 specimens, in 

 all aggregating over 750 sptcimeus, for $50,00, which is at the rate of only seven cents a speci- 

 men. 



At the above figure no iuan can afford to go to Florida to collect these interesting speci- 

 mens. We are told that less than ten museums in the United States possess a series of the 

 above specimens, and unless securtd within the past year, the British museum does not pos- 

 sess a series from the above locality. 



A large proportion of these will be sold almost immediately on the appearance of this 

 advertisement, herce you should write at once if you wish to secure any of them
