122 THE OOLOGIST. 



FOSSIL COLLECTION. A specially selected collection of Fossils for school 

 used to I sell at $100. One hundred (100) species and about 500 specimens ranging 

 in value from 5c. to $1 00 each A very select and very valuable collection and is 

 largely composed of Fossil Corals, ail carefully labeled and prepared, and well 

 worth $100. My price $33.50 prepaid. 



I have another collection similar to above put up to sell at $50 00, 100 species 

 and about 200 specimens which I will send prepaid for only $15.75.

 Egg, Fossil, Coin and Currency Collections ofiEered above will be 

 forwarded upon receipt of 10c per collection; this amount can be deducted from 

 purchase price of collection or will be refunded upon return of list. 



EGGS 01 THE EMEU. Nothing attracts greater attention in the egg line than 

 the large dark green, nearly black pebbled egg with a lighter ground color of 

 this peculiar Australian bird. Every egg collection would have contained one of 

 these eggs and even the laity would have had them on their "wnat-nots" or 

 among their "bric-a-brac" had not the price— which has always been $2.50 — been 

 a little too high. We now have a limited supply at only $1,20 each prepaid 

 (and according to our premium offer will include a year's subscription to the 

 OoLOGiST with exchange card, gratis, if you wish). This offer ought to close out 

 our Emeu eggs within the next ten days.

 spear heads and a few of the more common pieces such as sinkers, drills, scrap- 

 ers. &c, but have very few of the rare and desirable ones. The following we offer

 men, $4a90| prepaid; another from same locality of a more common and unat- 

 tractive form, $1.60y prepaid; Slate Pendant from Waterloo Co., Ont., prepaid, 

 55cts; Hematite Celt from Van Buren Co., Ark., prepaid, only $1.20i Ordin- 

 ary Stone Axe from Cumberland Co., N. J., prepaid, $1.30. I also have the 

 contents of a cache from Rowan Co., N. C, consisting of about 400 unnotched
