SQUIDS AND OCTOPI:— I have left two jars

 should estimate, 30 or 40 perhap s 50 specimens. 

 Last June I sold dozens at from 46cts. to 96cts. 

 and dealers usually sell them at from $1.00 to 

 $3 0J each. In size the specimens in these jars 

 will range from 1 in. to 1 ft. in length. The 

 list will only be sold as a whole and to a stud- 

 ent or some educational institution needing 

 them they will prove a veritable bonanza at 

 the price at which I am willing to close them

 damaged of a Loligo mounted on black walnut 

 base. It was one from that famous * 100,000

 of alcoholics including the wax mouel ought to 

 bring me $50— certainly should be considered a 

 bargain at $25, but 1 am willing to close out
