 having perfectly prepared bird skins. In 

 starting tbis collection of bird skins I shall 

 exercise just as much care as I have in ac- 

 cumulating birds' eggs, and those who have 

 dealt with me know that I am extremely 

 particular in this respect. I would like to 

 hear from all tho^e who have any bird skins 

 to offer. Nothing exceeding eight inches in 

 length is desired. I particularly want males 

 of the various woodpeckers, starlings and 

 buntings. G. A. ABBOTT, 1543 E. 61st Street,

Having completed my collection of N. A. 

 Warbler's eggs, I have now decided to pro- 

 cure a perfect skin of each species, male only, 

 in full plumage. I will give exceptional 

 value for these, especially the western forms.
