I have been for 20 years Director of the Carne gie Museum, in Pittsburg, and I am a Member of the Royal Entomological Society, of London. The usual prices will be paid for individual specimens in envelopes ranging from 5 cents to 20 cents, and more, depending on their rarity. Any collector should have the necessary experience. I would prefer specimens from the higher mountains and I particularly want butterflies from New Guinea.”
