302 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
Phalacrocorax carbo, the Cormorant. — §ix to ten shillings 
each. 
Order HERODIONES. 
Of Herons, I have notes of prices varying from five shillings 
for Ardea cinerea to £5 for A. goliath. 
Most of the Storks, Spoonbills and Ibises are presumably so 
attractive to purchasers that when specimens come into dealer’s 
hands they can be at once disposed of, as I have only seen the 
following ten species advertised for sale: and on several occa- 
sions when wishing to purchase I have been unable to do so, 
though prepared, if necessary, to pale a higher price than that 
advertised :— 
Ciconia nigra, Black Stork.—£1 5s. (once). 
C. alba, White Stork.—Six shillings to £1. 
C. (Dissura) maguari, Maguari Stork.—£2 to £5.

offered for sale, at every sort of price from £2 to £15 per bird.
