Messrs. BOUCARD, POTTIER & CO. offer to sell on commission all kinds of Objects of Natural 

 History, Collections of Mammal and Bird Skins, Skeletons, Human and Animal Skulls, Insects of all 

 orders pinned and set, or in papers ; Marine, Fresh Water, and Land Shells ; Reptiles and Fishes in spirit ;

 etc., etc. 



All possessors of such objects should not dispose of them without consulting Messrs. Boucard, Pottier 

 & Co., who having a large connection with Amateurs in all parts of the world, are able to get the very best 

 prices for them. 



Messrs. Boucard, Pottier & Co. beg to advise Directors of Museums and private Amateurs that they 

 undertake to stuff from a Humming Bird to a Whale at very reasonable prices. Only experienced and 

 scientific Taxidermists are employed by the hour for that work, which will always be of the best class. 



An inspection of their Galleries, where a large number of specimens are always on show, is solicited. 



Special fabrication of Mammals and Birds Eyes at wholesale prices which defy all competition, either 

 as quality or price. See special Advertisement. 



New Stands for Birds, suitable for Museums and Scientific Institutions. No one should be without 

 them. The appearance of the Birds on these stands is unequalled, and everyone should adopt them and 

 renovate the old ones. See Advertisement.
