dents  of  Iowa,  now  or  previously,  it  will  be  seen  to  comprise  a  wide 
range  of  subjects  and  collectors  in  any  line  will  be  likely  to  find 
something  of  interest  whether  he  be  a  zoologist,  botanist,  historian, 
librarian,  bibliophile,  or  engaged  in  any  other  line  of  gentlemanh 
endeavor.  iowana  is  generally  rather  infrequently  mentioned  in 
book  or  auction  catalogues,  the  publications  being  very  often  local  or 
in  small  editions  and  soon  disappear,  hence  the  scarcity.
