Bibliography of Taxidermy. 
So far as I am aware no one lias before attempted to compile 
a list of the works pertaining to taxidermy, and altliongh I am 
aware how meagre the subjoined list is, yet it is submitted as the 
beginning of a bibliograpliy of taxidermy. I am indebted to 
Messrs. Lee & Shepard for copies of their works and also to 
several of my friends for the titles of others. As it is my pur- 
pose to continue this subject I shall be greatly obliged to anyone 
who will kindly send me the full title of any work or shorter 
article on tlie subject of Taxidermy.
