TAXIDERMY AND MODELLING 



assistance to his readers if, when they write, a properly- 

 addressed envelope for reply be enclosed. 



At the outset, it was intended to devote a somewhat lengthy 

 chapter to a consideration of the aims of the scientific museum 

 of the future (contrasted with the past and present), and to a 

 review of all that is noteworthy in the management and arrange- 

 ment of museums at home and abroad. So much material 

 has accumulated, however, as to forbid its inclusion within the 

 present pages, which are therefore restricted to a description of 

 methods of Taxidermy and Modelling, leaving wider considera- 

 tions of matters connected with museums to be dealt with in a 



future work.
