 Five Hundred Figures minutely illustrating

 of forms and Attitudes of the Animal Kingdom. 

 The text is by Oliver Davie, who has made 

 Taxidermy his life study and profession. The 

 originals of the illustriitions were made in In- 

 dia ink from time to time as the actual sub.ltcts 

 could be obtained from which to make the va- 

 rious procedures. They were drawn by the 

 eminent Bird and Mammal Artist.— Theodore 

 Jasper, A, M., M. D., whose experience in the 

 Art of Taxidermy extends over a perion of fifty 

 years. Ev^ery illustration by this artist is a 

 work of art. Among these engravings are re- 

 productions from photographs of actual work 

 by American Taxidermists. Each copv of this 

 book is enclosed in box for shipment and is 

 sent j/repaid upon receipt of price.
