HURST'S 



Stereoscopic Studise 



OF 



Natural History 



For Object Teaching in Schools 



-AND 



PARLOR ENTERTAINMENT. 



We are prepared to f nrnish the first sixty numbers 

 of the first series of 



To thes=e will be added a second series of foreign speci- 

 men?, and various Animals and Birds in grotesque at- 

 titudes, never however violating their natural instincts. 



We offer these views not as pictures only, but as 

 studies from nature. One of the great moving ele- 

 ments in our modern system of education is object 

 teaching. The unerring fidelity of the stereoscope 

 transfers the animals and birds from their natural 

 habitat ro the rooms of the student and the fireside of 

 our homes, where they cannot fail to leave a lasting 

 impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of 

 each specimen. 



An experience of more than twenty-five years as 

 Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet of Natu- 

 ral History, and in gathering his large collection o.' 

 native and foreign specimens, enables Mr. Hurst to 

 comhine in every view the locality of the specimen 

 with, its appropriate rocks, woods or water, and color- 

 ing from the originals.

 TRIAL OF SCOTT& GREENER'S NEW SYSTEM 

 OF BORING, BY THE EDITOR OF 

 "THE FIELD," LONDON. 



(See The Field, January 30th, 1875.) 

 ''From a comparison of the two tables it will be 

 seen that with Walker's ghot, Messrs. Scott guns 

 showed a marked superiority over Mr. Greener's, 

 both in average and in the highest score made. In- 

 deed, with the left barrel, in his third shot, Mr, Scott 

 got a selected group pattern of 239 and a penetration 

 of 37, equalling the highest pattern made by Mr 

 Greener, and exceeding the penetration of that par- 

 ticular shot by eight sheets."

 bores; also winner in class 1 for 8 and 10 bores, and 

 class 4 for 20 bores. He has won in all the classes for 

 improved boring, which is upon a different plan to any 

 other maker, and is far superior in the three most es- 

 sential points, viz., PATTERN, PENETRATION, 

 and REGULARITY OP SHOOTING.

Cun and Rifle Manufacturers, 



Call the attention of the Sportsmen of America to the 

 extreme SIMPLICITY, STRENTH and DURABIL- 

 ITY of their New Patent "SIMPLEX" Breech loader 

 and INDEPENDENT EXTRACTOR. 



The parts in this new action are so few (only two,) 

 its mechanical soundness so thorough, and the 

 strength and simplicity of the action so great, that 

 W. <fc P. feel sure it will supercede all the complicated 

 and manifold grips now in use, its one powerful grip 

 being far stronger than any double, treble or quadruple 

 grip now used. In this new action LEVER and GRIP 

 ARE ONE SOLID PIECE OF STEEL and the AN- 

 GLE of the BODY is left in its ENTIRE STRENGTH. 



Drawings of action and extractor will be sent on ap- 

 plication, and orders may be forwarded through any 

 of the best houses in the States for execution in the 

 Spring. 



Guns guaranteed to make patterns of from 160 to 

 330 with No. 6 SHOT AT 40 YARDS, as desired.

(Title registered.) 



SHOWN by trials at Wimbledon by Editor 

 of the Field to possess the GREATEST PENE- 

 TRATION and therefore LONGEST RANGE— thus: 

 Circle, 30 inches; 300 pellets; average, 191; penetra- 

 tion, 37. The Editor's trial of Greener guns with 340 

 pellets of same shot and same charge of powder, gave 

 180,and penetration 30, although there were 40 more pel- 

 lets in- each charge. Should any controversy arise as 

 to the durability of these new systems, we herewith 

 warn all beforehand that our system is our own inven- 

 tion (though founded on the American idea) and is DU- 

 RABLE, a fact remarked on by the Field, that the 

 guns tried had been in use during last season, and ref- 

 erences permitted to the owners. Send for Illustrated 

 Circulars to
