EVERY DESCRIPTION OF TAXIDERMIST WORK undertaken.

HINTS TO NATURALISTS.

If Customers will observe the following simple directions in sending Specimens for preparation it will ensure them reaching us in good condition.

ANIMALS’ SKINS, if freshly taken off, should be laid out in the air (not in the sun) skin side up until they can be despatched to us, which should be done as quickly as possible. Fold the skin up hair outwards, with some straw or shavings between to prevent the skin coming together. If the weather is very hot sprinkle some salt on the skin as soon as it is taken off the animal. ALWAYS KEEP skins, heads, etc., as dry as possible.

FOX BRUSHES should have a tapered piece of stick inserted into them after the tail is drawn out.

DRESSING AND CURING.--Nearly all work in Natural History must be allowed a considerable time for drying, so that it is in most cases impossible to return Specimens in a few days.

_The above are delivered Carriage Free, subject to the Conditions set forth on pages 3 and 4._
