BOOK NOTICE. 



The book under notice * refers to work done ten years ago, but was only pub-

 Professor Henry A. "Ward, the proprietor of a great Taxidermical Establishment at 

 Rochester, in the State of New York, to travel for two years in the East in search 

 of fish, flesh and fowl ; but chiefly of the larger mammals and reptiles. He started

 the Malay Peninsula, and Borneo. By William T. Hornaday, Chief Taxidermist, U. S. 

 National Museum ; late Collector for Ward'3 Natural Science Establishment. London ; 

 Kegan Paul, Trench & Co. 18S5.
