A SHELL COLLECTION 



Consisting of 10,000 Species, 



50,000 specimens, is offered for sale at a sacrifice. A rare 

 oppoitun'ty for a School, College, Mus2um, or any Person or Institu- 

 tion interested in Conchology, to secure one of the best collections in 

 America, at one-half its real value. 



The nucleus, from which this collection was formed, was the 

 famous Jewett collection which the late Dr. Newcomb of Cornell 

 University inventoried at over $12,500 — A small portion of the Jew- 

 ett collection was on exhibition at the World's Fair, and the collec- 

 tion as a whole was offered for sale at $6,000 Mr. H. A. Pilsbry of 

 the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, who is one of the best, if not 

 the greatest living American Conchologist — after examining the por- 

 tion of the collection on exhibition, and the catalog of the en' ire col- 

 lection, said thit if he considered the price, $6,000, very reasonable. 

 At the close of the Fair the collection was purchased by Frank H. 

 Lattin, and to it, he has since added fully $2,000 worth of specimens. 



The collection, with its additions is now offered for sale at a very 

 low figure — actually one-half its real value. 



Terms of payment easy. If desired, ample time will be given 

 the purchaser, whether an Individual or institution, if responsible. 



Should you desire the collection, or if you are in any manner 

 connected with an Institution to whom a sale might be made, or if 

 you are so situated as to able to assist in the disposal of the collec- 

 tion, I shall be pleased to hear from you at once.
