manner by his own hands. In many instances, in his earlier work, he has also set 
up the type and done the printing. Among his many contributions to science may 
be mentioned a catalogue of North American butterflies, which is the most complete 
ever published, containing all the synonyms, and many new species, besides a vast 
amount of other matter that makes it indispensable to every student of lepidoptera. 
But it is impossible to do justice to this marvelous collection in the limited space at 
our command. We would advise those who are interested in such things to visit the 
genial collector at his hospitable home, which, amidst the beautiful hills of Berks, 
has been built with a view to the especial requirements of his collection, promising 
them that they will come away feeling that they have enjoyed a rare treat, and that, 
like the Queen of Sheba, “ the half had not been told to them.”

TYPICAL PIPES IN VARIOUS COLLECTIONS. 
Ancient Indian tobacco pipes were made in a countless variety of designs, but 
among them we find certain characteristic forms, which indicate their approximate 
age or the localities where they originated. The most marked of these are the true 
mound or platform pipe, with curved base, the sculptured stone idol or human head 
bowl, the trumpet form with curved stem (usually of clay), the disc or shield type, 
the inverted bottle-stopper, and the straight tubular form, such as is found in ancient 
graves in California. In the table below we give a partial list of archaeological 
collectors who own such specimens, and the number of each. At the heads of the 
columns are small engravings of typical specimens. The examples enumerated are, in, 
most instances, of almost the exact form of the cuts ; in others they are modifications.
