 number of species and varieties recently received. 



CHBISTMAS PRESENTS. 



Customers are especially notified that owing to a pressure of business just before 

 the holidays it is well to make out their orders for specimens or collections intended 

 for Christmas presents as early as possible. A large number of collections in neat 

 hard wood boxes, with divisions, are now ready, at exceedingly low prices. 

 Twenty-five beautiful minerals in box, 50c; other collections up to $50. Thousands 

 of charming specimens can be supplied that would delight a collector more than 

 any other gift. A present of such a collection, or a few minerals will often lead 

 to the acquisition of knowledge that cannot be gained from a collection of coins 

 or stamps. 



BOOKS. 



Many would prefer a rare and useful scientific book to any other gift. Thou- 

 sands of these can be supplied on demand, as we are constantly purchasing libraries. 

 The Geological and Mineralogical library of the late Prof. F. A. Genth, just pur- 

 chased, contained many rare and valuable volumes, such as the following : Stephen- 

 son, Geology of Georgia; Tuomey, Geology of South Carolina; Lieber, Geology of 

 South Carolina, Rossmdssler, Icoriographie der Land and Susswasser Mollusken.
