Taxidermy and 

 Zoological Collecting 



Illustrated. 8vo. $2.50 net 



" In this handsomely illustrated book taxidermy and 

 its allied branches have at last been adequately dealt with. 

 The subject is treated ab initio; it begins with the hunting 

 of the animals and the study of fresh specimens, and ex- 

 tends down to the final preservation of skins and mounting 

 the same." — Scientific American. 



" The important feature of this exceedingly valuable 

 — and to the amateur collector absolutely indispensable — 

 handbook is that it contains, in the most succinct and 

 lucid form, information that the standard volumes on the 

 subject do not give. There is plenty of entertainment in 

 the volume. It is profusely and admirably illustrated." 



—Boston Beacon. 



"A handsome, valuable, and richly illustrated volume. 

 It contains a great mass of information interesting even 

 for the uninitiated." — Brooklyn Eagle. 



" The work is the most complete, the most practical, 

 and the most valuable contribution to the subject that 

 has yet come from the press, and will be heartily wel- 

 comed by all interested in taxidermy or engaged in the 

 work of collecting specimens." — T'he Christian Work. 



" It may be read with interest by all who have any 

 love for natural history. To those who wish to practice 

 taxidermy, we do not see how any book could be more 

 exactly devised to meet their wants. The instructions 

 are simple and trustworthy. The cuts are numerous 

 and satisfactory." — The Herald and Presbyter.
