showed u mm led eu/iertOrUi/ over Mr. Greener's, 
both In average nnd in the highest score made In- 
deed, with the left barrel. In bis third shot, Mr. Scott 
got a selected group pat tern of 23ft and a penetration 
of 37, equalling the highest pattern made by Mr 
Greener, nnd exceeding the penetration of tlm( par- 
ticular shot by eight sheet#."

We are prepared to furnish the first sixty numbers 
of the first series of 
Animals and Birds of North America. 
To these will be added u second series of foreign sik-cI- 
m. ns, and various Animals and Birds in grotesque at- 
Htudes, never however violating their natural Instincts. 
W e offer those views not as pictures only, but ns 
studies from nature. One of tlte great moving ele- 
ments m our modern system of education is object 
teaching. The unerring fidelity of the stereoscope 
transfers the animals and birds from their natural 
habitat to t he rooms of the student, and the llresllc of 
on r homes, where they eunnot fall to leave n lasting 
Impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of 
each specimen. 
An experience of more lhan twenty-five years as 
Taxidermist of the New York Slate Cabinet of Noi- 
nrul History, undin gathering hie large collection of 
native and foreign specimens, enables Mr. Ilnrst to 
combine in every view the locality of the specimen 
with Its appropriate, rocks, woods or water, and color- 
ing from the originals.
