 check-list of 1859 and those used in Coue's of 1883 ; 

 it gives the value of the eggs of over 500 species of 

 North American birds, this fact alone making the

 imately, the number of eggs in a clutch of every 

 American bird. It tells how to prepare specimens for 

 cabinet, how to pack them fc transportation, with 

 many other useful hints.

There is 

 t scarcely a month 

 Mi the year but 

 what a pair oi 

 good Climbing 

 Irons comes handy 

 Do not let a low price hire 

 you into purchasing an infer- 

 ior article. Every timy you 

 use a cheap pair of iron j, it is 

 well to remember, that the 

 risk you run is a hundred- 

 fold greater than with a reli- 

 able pair. Our irons are the 

 best made and are manufact- 

 ured from the best and 

 strongest material obtainable. 

 The straps are wide and made 

 from the very best of leather. 

 Our climbers are the 

 easiest, safest and most 

 durable on the mar- 

 ket and cannot be 

 sold at a living profit 

 for less money by any- 

 one. 

 . past five years we have 

 sold hundreds of pairs of climbers-, 

 have sent them to nearly every state 

 and territory in the Union and have yet 

 to hear of the first dissatisfied purchaser. 

 From many testimonials, we select 

 the following : 



"The climbers that you sent give entire satisfac 

 tion and are well made in every particular." 



T. V. W... Austin. Ills. 



"Received my climbers all right on the 2lst ol 

 last month. Have deferred writing to you till " 

 nad used them. They are as good a 'spur as I 

 ever tried and I think I am saf 3 in saying that U 

 you buy your spurs of Lattin, you get good ones,' 5 

 J. P. J., Kelton, Pa. 



"All the supplies ordered came duly to hand, all 

 O. K. Am more than pleased with them all. 

 The climping irons are just what I wanted; the 

 book of datas is immense and the Naturalist,'* 

 Guide is well worth the price, l wi8h to compli- 

 ment you on yotu- method of packing. The goods 

 that I received could hardly have been better 

 fixed for transportation. Am more impressed 

 with your promptness every time I order: and in 

 future, let me say, if there is anything in your 

 line that I need, you may be sure that I shall 

 give you thepreference." 



H. c. O., Shelburne Falls, Mass.
