the forms of bird and animal life.
Some are so from sentiment, as it en-
ables them to retain the substantial
shadow of pet. Others are enlisted
on u scientific basis. One may love
birds and not be taxidermist. Audu-
bon illustrates this: He was devoted
ornithologist one of the greatest
America has yet known; but he
paid no attention to taxidermy.
When he bagged bird it was
his practice to pin it to tree
and make drawing reproducing the
natural tints of the plumagc, with
coIors. After this the skin was removed
and dried. The collection of drawings
and descriptions left by Audubon serve
as criteria for sportsmen, but the value
would have been much increased if
supplemented by the actual forms of
the birds. Charles Waterton, the En-
glish naturalist, has left far more to
postcrity through practicing taxi
dcrmy. The specimens he gathered,
now in the museum in York, are of
inestimahlc worth in showing the
natural posture and action of life. On
careful examination it will be found
