The Great Siberian Mammoth. 
The Great Siberian Mammoth {Elephas 
primigenius, Blum.) whose remains were 
found, in the year 1799, frozen in the ice 
banks at the mouth of the river Lena, in Si- 
beria. The skeleton now stands in the Muse- 
um of the Imperial Academy of St. Peters- 
burg. This restoration is made from bor.es 
of a larger individual in the Royal Museum 
of Stuttgard, Wirtenburg. Height, 16 feet; 
length, including forward curve of tusks, 26 
feet. From Prof. Henry A. Ward's Natural 
Science Establishment, Rochester, ]S. Y. 
Will be exhibited by the Inter- State Indus- 
trial Exposition Company of Chicago, in 
their great exposition building from Septem- 
ber 4th to October 19th, 1878. 
This grand and imposing restoration of 
the most majestic and colossal of all extinct 
land animals known to science, is offered for 
sale by Professor Ward at the close of the 
Exposition, or at any time after October 19th, 
1878, for the sum of $4,000. No more valua- 
ble or suitable gift than is this specimen, 
could be made by a gentleman of wealth and 
liberality to the museum of a college or of 
a scientific society. Its presence in their 
museum hall would give the institution 
possessing it, a lasting fame and scientific 
repute throughout the entire continent. 
Unless otherwise informed, subscriptions 
received after this day will begin with the 
July issue. Back numbers can always be had 
at the regular price. 
The St. Louis Fair and Exposition. 
The Industrial Exposition opens Monday, 
the 9th day of September, 1878, the Live 
Stock, Floral, Fruit, etc. departments com- 
mence Monday, the 7th day of October, and 
closes Saturday the 12th day of October. 
•The exhibition in the Geological, Chemi- 
cal and Mineral Department begins Monday 
September 9th, 1878. It is very desirable 
that all articles entered be ready for exhibi- 
tion on the first day of the Exposition, and 
exhibitors are urged to commence their ar- 
rangements in time. If not ready by 10 
o'clock a. M., Monday, September 9th, they 
will not be considered as competing. Size 
of collections, quality or selectness of their 
component articles, and systematic and taste- 
ful arrangement, will be necessary to entitle 
any collection or display to a premium. 
Each specimen in Classes A and B is ex- 
pected to be correctly labelled with name of 
specimen and locality in which it was found. 
No collection or part of collection of minerals 
shall be awarded more than one premium. 
Each article in collections of natural and ar- 
tificial curiosities must be appropriately 
labelled. The Awarding Committees will 
not make awards in any case where the arti- 
cle or collection exhibited is not meritorious, 
nor when not in readiness or proper condi- 
tion for their inspection.

Editorial Chat. 
Mr. Otto Lugger, formerly of this city, and 
lately Curator of the Baltimore Academy of 
Science, has gone to the West Indies, on a 
scientific trip. 
Persons receiving copies of the Natur- 
alist who are not subscribers, will please 
regard it as an invitation to subscribe. From 
all interested in natural science we earnestly 
solicit a subscription. 
Send in your orders for cards, letterheads, 
noteheads, envelopes, etc. Every naturalist 
ought to have his name and address printed 
on his envelopes, note- or letterheads, which 
ever he prefers to use. By having his ad- 
dress printed on his envelope, he saves a 
great many letters from going to the " dead 
letter-box." Our rates are the lowest — send 
for estimates. 
In response to a notice of the consolidation 
of the Naturalist and Fancier with the 
Western Oologist, appearing in the editorial 
columns of the August issue, the latter pub- 
lication makes the following statement;: 
The Valley Naturalist for August 
mentions something to the effect that the 
Naturalist and Fancier had consolidated 
with this paper. There was some talk of it; 
but as nothing satisfactory could be reached, 
we laid aside all thoughts of so doing. 
It is very pleasing to see so much interest 
taken in science by the fairer sex. In the 
Chemical Section of the A. A. A. S., Misses 
E. S. Richards and Alice Palmer have a very 
good paper on "Antimony Tannate." In 
Section B. (Natural History) though a great 
many ladies were present, only one paper 
was presented— "Extracts from Modern Sci- 
ence Bearing on the Law of Repitition," by 
Miss V. Bowers. The centre of attraction in 
this Section was Miss E. A. Smith, whose 
amusing description of her experiments on 
GoccidcB occasioned much merriment. We 
also noted the presence of Mrs. Bassnett, 
the lady botanist, and Miss M. Murtfelt of 
entomological renown. 
The St. Louis meeting of the A. A. A. S. 
has been very successful, and we have been 
informed that after the payment of all ex- 
penses the Association have a balance of sev- 
eral hundred dollars in their favor. Were it 
not too extensive an undertaking, we should 
be pleased to give abstracts of the many in- 
teresting papers presented. Persons desir- 
ing information as to the proceedings, will be 
pleased to hear that the N. Y. Herald has 
issued its usual pamphlet " extra " on the 
An Electrical Globe for the Exhibition of Magnetic Declination
