WARD’S NATURAL SCIENCE BULLETIN. 
PALAEONTOLOGY. 
Our additions in this department, during the 
past year, have been as great as in mineralogy, 
and we are better prepared than ever to furnish 
collections of Typical fossils from any particular 
age, or from all geological epochs. And we 
use the same care in preparing small school col- 
lections worth only from $100 to $500, as larger 
collections for colleges and museums valued at 
$5,000 and $10,000. We also sell individual 
specimens to those wishing to fill out their col- 
lections. We use great care to keep our stock 
free from all but perfect, distinct, well 'preserved 
specimens. 
A few of the most noteworthy forms are in the 
CAMBRIAN, numerous fine examples, from 
Canada and Northern New York, of that much- 
disputed fossil, Eozoon Canadense. Also good 
specimens of at least two species of the oldest 
British plant, Oldhamia. In the 
SILURIAN, gigantic sponges of the genus 
Stromatopora from the Calciferous of New York, 
Graptolites from Canada and the United States, 
Bohemia, Scotland and Australia, Corals, Crin- 
irds, Brachiopods and Cephalopods in abundance. 
Among Crustacea, perfect specimens of Euryp- 
terus and Trilobites. In the 
DEVONIAN, numerous fine specimens of the 
strange Dictyophyton from the Chemung Group, 
perfect Corals, Spirifers, Atrypas, etc., of many 
species, from the Hamilton & Corniferous, and a 
large fine series of Fish from the old Red Sand- 
stone of Scotland. In the 
CARBONIFEROUS, fine leaf impressions of 
many genera and species ( Pecopteris , Neuropteris, 
etc.), as well as roots and stems of these and 
other Cryptogams. Extensive series of Onnoidea 
from Burlington and Crawfordsville, and some 
noble examples of Melonites from the St. Louis 
Limestone. Also beautiful Archimedes. In the 
TRIAS, fine slabs of various sizes of the inter- 
esting Reptilian tracks (Ichnites) from the Con- 
necticut Yalley, first brought to the notice of 
scientists by Dr. Hitchcock as “Bird-tracks.” 
Also the typical Lilly Encrinite and Geratites from 
Germany. In the 
LIAS, large slabs of Crinoids (especially Pen- 
tacrinus briar eus and subangularis ) from the cele- 
brated localities of Lyme Regis, England, and 
Boll, Wurtemberg: as also Saurian remains in 
every degree of perfection. Cephalopoda {Ammon- 
ites, Nautilus, Belemnites) in abundance. In the 
OOLITE, all classes of the Mollusca, Insects, 
Crustaceans and Fish from the Lithographic 
Slates of Solenhofen. In the 
CRETACEOUS, handsome leaf-impressions of 
Angiosperms of the genera Sassafras, Platanus, 
Liquidambar, etc., from the Dokata Group of 
Kansas. Among Spongidte notably Ghenendo- 
pora, Goeloptycliium, and Ventriculites — chiefly 
from the Greensand and Chalk of England and 
France, 
TERTIARY, we have a large series of finely- 
preserved Mollusca from the Eocene beds (D’Or- 
bigny’s Parisien) of the Paris basin, and the 
Miocene deposits around Vienna. Nummulites 
from the Great Pyramid, and excellent specimens 
of the Ecliinoderm Glypeaster Gizehensis from 
Gizeh, Egypt. Also, the interesting Crustacean 
Lobocarcinus from the Jebel Mokattam. In the 
QUARTERNARY, numerous remains of Pro- 
boscideans (Elephas and Mastodoyi), consisting of 
bones and teeth, and including the skeleton of 
Mastodon giganteus found near Newburgh, N. Y. , 
in 1879. Also a series of magnificient heads of 
the Great Cave Bear, a fine perfect skeleton of 
the GREAT FOSSIL elk of Ireland ( Megaceras 
Llibernicus); and several complete skeletons of 
the great struthious birds ( Mon) of New Zealand. 
Finally, Gorals and Shells from the raised beaches 
along the Red Sea. 
CASTS OF FOSSILS. 
In addition to the actual fossils from the dif- 
ferent geological periods, we still continue to 
furnish “Ward’s Casts of Celebrated Fos- 
sils. ” These are copies — exact fac similes in form 
and color— of both celebrated and typical fossil 
forms, from the British Museum, Jardin des 
Plantes, Vienna Museum, St. Petersburg Muse- 
um, and other noted cabinets of Europe and 
America. 
The call for these casts has been large, and is 
steadily increasing. Our highest institutions of 
science have been the first to recognize their 
value and secure their aid. The following insti- 
tutions are among those who have endorsed these 
casts in the most unmistakable manner by order- 
ing from $1,000 to $3,000 worth: Smithsonian 
Institution, New York Geological Cabinet, Phila- 
delphia Academy of Natural Sciences, Boston 
Society of Natural History, University of Virginia, 
University of California, and fifty others. Con- 
siderable numbers have also been sent to the mu- 
seums of England, Austria. Bavaria, South 
America, India, New Zealand, and Australia. 
We have made up three considerable suites or 
series of these casts, including in them severally 
those forms which have proved to be of more 
particular attractiveness and interest for our 
lesser and our larger institutions. In this way 
three distinct Geological Cabinets have been 
compiled, but of different magnitude and scope. 
These comprise the 
COLLEGE SERIES 
selected so as to thoroughly represent all the Geo- 
logical formations and Zoological subdivisions. 
Many of the forms are fossils of general celeb- 
rity, and are referred to in every text book on the 
subject. Among them are the Neanderthal 
Skull, Guadaloupe Man, Megatherium, Glyptodon, 
Dinotherium, Diprotodon, Dodo,Aepioruis, Ichthyo- 
saurus, Labyrinthodon, Pterodactyl, Holopty- 
cliius, Cephalaspis, &c., &c. In all, 212 genera, 
and 290 species. We sell this entire collection, 
packed, for $1000. 
ACADEMY SERIES. 
While many of the large striking forms found 
in the college series are absent from this, it covers 
the same ground, and will be found to serve the 
teacher for class illustration excellently well. 
This series contains 129 genera and 159 species. 
Delivered at depot in Rochester, for $300. To 
make the collection more imposing and attractive, 
we have an addition to it in the way of a supple- 
ment, containing three noted large forms — Glyp- 
todon, Diprotodon and Mastodon — which will be 
added to the series for a further sum of $200. 
SCHOOL SERIES. 
A carefully chosen series, giving a well-pro- 
portioned exhibit of all the classes, is adapted 
especially for union schools, and offered at a 
price within their reach. There are in all sev- 
enty-six specimens, which will be delivered at 
railroad, for $175. Illustrated descriptive cata- 
logue, 20c. 
$300 COLLECTION OE CASTS AND 
ORIGINAL FOSSILS. 
We have recently prepared a series covering 
the whole field of Palaeontology, in which the 
unique and rarer forms are represented by casts, 
and the commoner forms by original fossils. Of 
the 485 specimens (260 species in this collection 
149 (145 species) are casts, and 336 (117 species) 
originals. There is a great gain to any institu- 
tion purchasing this collection, in addition to the 
fact that it covers the whole field very evenly, 
as we have here followed the rule adopted in 
the preparation of all our series, and give much 
more for the money than could be obtained if 
bought as individual specimens. We offer the 
same supplement to this collection as prepared 
for the Academy Series of Casts. 
ARCHAE0PTERY. 
Having obtained a mould of this wonderful 
fossil, we are now prepared to furnish perfect 
casts of the same, colored like the original, and 
scarcely distinguishable from it, for $10. This 
price includes case and packing. As this is the 
first time that anything more than pictures of 
this rare form have been placed within the reach 
of American Museums, we shall look for a hearty 
appreciation from them, of our efforts in their 
behalf. Please send in your orders early. 
ARCHAEOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY. 
In this department we have an 
extensive and varied assortment of 
material, comprising articles of 
dress, tools, weapons, utensils, etc. , 
of historic and prehistoric races.

implements, and pottery in large 
number and great variety of form. 
Articles of various kinds of the
