% COLLECTION OB BIRDS' EGGS BO$ S^LE. 



Owing to the extensive growth of my collection of European and 

 American Birds' Eggs, I have concluded to dispose of half of my Am- 

 erican Eggs, and now offer a very fine collection of 400 species, con- 

 sisting of 3000 specimens, in first class sets with data, collected by well 

 known and reliable oologists in the United States, Canada and Eu- 

 rope. This collection is especially rich in eggs of Birds of Prey and 

 contains 50 species; very few private collections on this continent can 

 show so many species. 



During the past four years I have been at great expense and trou- 

 ble in obtaining collectors in Greenland, Iceland, Lapland and other 

 Arctic regions and have added to both private and public museums' ' 

 many very rare species, such as Knot, Sanderling, Black-bellied Plo- 

 ver, Eagles, rare Plovers, Ducks, Geese, and Sea Birds. 



At regular cataloge rates of American dealers, this collection is 

 worth $2500.00, but I am able to offer it at a great b'afg&ih. ' My. price 

 for this magnificent collection is only $1000.00, satisfaction guaran 

 teed. This is a rare opportunity for some museum 'OrWeaWhy natuTa- : 

 list to secure a good collection at half its value; ' *' . '. : ! , ' '

There is no purer source of recreation thnn to go abroad and study the nature, hab-

 this line by a quick eye and Inquisitive mind, and that a persistent observer can culti- 

 vate an acquaintance with the birds which will prove alike pleasant. Instructive and re~
