MELVILLE, 319 YONGE ST. TOBONTO, ONT. To My Patrons,— GoUeotors, in all parts of the Dominion, have long felt the need of a place where they could exchange their duplicate specimens of birds and eggs, for those which they have not, and where they could procure, at a low price, speciiT^ens which otherwise they would not be able to obtain. I have been end,eavoi;iing to establish just such a place, and I most heartily thank you for your generous support, and I will continue to endeavor to give satisfaction in every department of my business. I have a large stock of native birds on hand, and am con- stsAUy adding new species to it, and if ^exe ,ma 9!^9' Jsif^oxr^^fgar'- . . j i ■ 4iiJ u t h « r <^a<>fr^llttdh^Bff,"Tdtfu ulOsTfrobably supply j^ou with them in a short time. I have also some beautiful humming birds, from South Amorica, at SOots. SOcts, and 75ct8 each ; and expect shortly a . consignment of Australian birds froDi my Agent in New South Wales. ' Jm eggs, although my Stock is l^tge, I expect to greatly inoreb.8e it this season. The prices quoted ai^e for perfect Specimens, blown with one smoothly-drilled hole at side, all others at greatly ireduced price. I have a number of species, i^ sets, which, will be supplied at the tegular price of single specimens, the nest wiU be sent, whenever ■practicable,. at Uie price of a single egg, if 20cts or over. I will shortly issue a list of bird's, eyes, which will be sent to all applicants. I have some very fine Indian. Arrow-points from New Mexico and California, at 75cts e&di, suitable for scarf-pins, &o ; they are beautifoUy chipped from diffj^ent colored agates.
