Animals and Birds of North America. 
To those will be added a second series of foreign 
specimens, and various animals and birds in grotesque 
attitudes, never, however, violating their natural in¬ 
stincts. . . 
We offer these views, not as pictures only, but as 
studies from nature. One of the great moving ele¬ 
ments in our modern sya'em of Celtics' ion :s object 
teaching. The unerring fidelity of the stereoscope 
transfers the animals and birds from their natural 
habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside 
of our homes, where they cannot fall to have a last¬ 
ing impression of the form, color, habits, and local¬ 
ity of each specimen. 
An experience of more than twenty-five years as 
Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet of Nat¬ 
ural History, and in gathering his large collection of 
native and foreign specimens, enables Mr. Hurst to 
combine In every view the locality of the specimen, 
with its appropriate rockB, woods, or water, and col¬ 
oring from the originals.
