production of a photograph of the original 

 portrait, see Maria R. Audubon, op. cit., vol. i, 

 p. 206 ; and for reproduction of the Hall en-

 Harvard University, see Vol. II, p. 188. 

 The original was made from a dark colored plaster (?), 

 and has a decidedly coarse texture. Mr. Harry P. Havell, who 

 possesses a replica of the original in wax, writes that he ob- 

 tained from the Misses Havell, his cousins, the information
