Birds' Eggs. Great Bargains, 



Having lately received large consignments of 

 Eggs for which I have not room in my cabinets, 

 I am willing to part with ,£100 worth for ^75 

 cash, including most Eggs in British List, many 

 r.L-vc- held by dealers. Suitable for Museum. As 

 I am not a dealer and have not a living to make 

 by such sales, I can let them go cheap. Smaller 

 quantities at great reductions. Not having a list, 

 I will take the average dealer's price, and allow 

 discount therefrom. Send list of wants and 

 name of dealer you would like to trade bv.
