c. If of Reptiles, at least eight small or four large specimens, one of eight 
pounds weight being considered the minimum for large Reptiles, 
d. If of Fishes, the same as Reptiles. 
e. If of heads, at least five, some of which shall be as large as the head of a 
Setter dog. 
f. If of Mammal skins, at least twenty, and some of the skins must be as large 
as the skin of a common fox. 
g. If of Bird skins, at least fifty, some of which must be as large as a Red-

3. Each exhibitor who sends objects to be entered in competition must furnish 
the Secretary with a list of the same, and state distinctly what prize each exhibit is 
entered for, whether it be one of the Regular or Special Prizes, and which particular 
one. It is not expected that anyone will enter an exhibit to compete as a “second 
best,” for in every case an exhibit will receive the highest award it is found to 
deserve. At the time of the Judges’ inspection all the objects in each exhibit which 
is in competition will be placed together and labelled as “ Entered in Competition 
for — ” whatever the case may be. Members must attend strictly 
to this regulation and in good season, in order to simplify the work of the Judges 
and insure proper attention to their work. 
4. Each member who enters one or more competitive exhibits must furnish an 
affidavit declaring that all the specimens in said exhibit or exhibits were mounted by 
his own hands and without skilled assistance of any kind. 
5 . All freight and express charges to and from the place of exhibit will be met 
by the exhibitor ; but the labor of unpacking, arranging in the hall and repacking 
will be performed by the Society without charge. 
6. Exhibits must be promptly on hand so as to be properly placed in the hall 
in time for inspection by the Judges. Objects received while the inspection is in 
progress will be excluded from competition. 
7. Objects intended for sale shall in every case be priced in the catalogue, and 
any member of the Executive Committee may dispose of objects belonging to non- 
present members at the catalogue price by becoming personally responsible to the 
Treasurer for the payment of the purchase money. No object shall be delivered to 
a purchaser without a written order from the Treasurer, nor in any case until the 
close of the exhibition 
8. Whenever an object is sold at an exhibition, ten per cent, of the selling 
price shall be paid into the treasury of the Society. 
By Order of the Executive Committee. 
Wm. T. Hornaday, W. E. D. Scott, 
Secretary. President.
