CouEs’ Monograph Entitled 
FUR BEARING ANIMALS 
The book is scarce and eagerly sought for 
by zoologists, but it is offered for sale only 
rarely and is about as hard to obtain as Mr. 
Gurdon Trumbull’s “Names and Portraits of 
Birds.’’ 
Dr. Coues’ book deals with the wolverine, the 
martens or sables, the ermine, the mink and 
various other kinds of weasels, several species 
of skunk, the badger, the land and sea otters, 
and many numerous exotic allies of these ani¬ 
mals. It is illustrated by 6o figures on 20 plates. 
We have just secured a copy of this work in 
good condition which we offer at $4.50.

KANSAS STATE SHOOT 
Won by 
The New 2liar/in Trap Gun 
At Lamed, Kansas, April 14, 15 and 16, Mr. O. N. Ford,. shooting his new 
trap gun, took the one great prize—high amateur average—with 
the remarkable score of 
627 out of 660—95^ 
As this was the only Marlin gun on the grounds, its superiority over all others is unquestioned. 
Mr. Ford has been shooting the Marlin less than two months and states that he has fired about 2000 
shots with a general average of over 95 per cent. He says “This is the best trap gun I ever shot.” 
T he new Marlin trap gun is built expressly for trap work. It has special trap-shooting features not 
fcund in other makes and is sold at a price every real trap-shooter can afford. Write us to-day for 
catalog and our special circular giving a large, handsome illustration and detailed description of the 
superb new Marlin trap gun.
