From 1862 to 1906, Ward’s Natural Science Establishment supplied specimens to natural science museums around the world.

Original line breaks, punctuation, abbreviations and spelling have been preserved

29 Febr.76.
Dear Sir
I was glad to receive your letter of Febr. 14,
announcing the despatch off some of the skeletons,
although I am afraid that they will not arrive
in ime to be taken into next month's account.
I always prefer </u rough > skeletons, whenever
practicable, but I am well satisfied by your
assurance that you will never send me second-
rate or incomplete specimens. I now answer
some parts of your letter, referring the reply
to others to my next letter.
</p>
<pre> Please keep in your mind my wish for adult
</pre>
<p>& large skeletons & skulls of the Grizzly Bear.
The price you put on your skeleton of </u Spharjis >
is too large for the London Market, as the species
is more common in other parts of the world,
than on the American Coast.
</p>
<pre> I can well understand your difficulties about

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>the fish, but believe I can remove some of them.
Of course, I must expect that you would send
me the same species repeatedly, but I should
not consider the specimens to be duplicates, if
they were collected at sufficiently distant localities.
For instance I could take specimens of the same
species from Lake Ontario, Erie, Huron, etc.,
from the Wabash to Illinois, but I could not
take duplicate specimens from Oswego & Toronto,
Jefferson City & St. Louis, These places being in
the same ichth geological district. As regards the
prices I can agree to the following
For fish up to 1 foot long
</p>
<pre> from the Mississippi or rivers
& lakes east of it pounds 0.5.0
from waters west of Mississippi. 0 8.4
" " 1 to 2 feet 0 11.7
" " 2 to 3 " 0 14.7
" " 3 t0 4 " 1. 0.19
</pre>
<p>with the exception of the first. those are your
own prices. I should not care for Lepidosteus,
</u Amia & Spatularia >, which as you know, you
can always sell to other people at good prices.

draw your attention to them , so that you can
supply other institutions with these particular
species.
</p>
<pre> I must also mention that for the first twelve
</pre>
<p>months I should not like to spend more than
150 pounds for North American freshwater fish.
</p>
<pre> If you have collectors at the places, I would
</pre>
<p>advise to commence working the Lakes, Nebraska,
and </s the Mississippi > Arkansas. We shall then
see after a short time, on what footing our
operations can be continued & extended.
According to my experience collecting of fish
in Central America paid at 3 sh. a piece, &
in East Africa at 4 sh.

<pre> You must impress your collectors to be parti-

Zoological Department
13 Jan. 1876
Sir
I have seen today at the
College of Surgeons your list
of American Animals, & shall
esteem it a favor, if you
will regularly send me any
fresh editions of the same,
as well as inform me of any
rare or particularly fine
specimens which you may
have for sale in the future.
[Embossed] BRITISH MUSEUM
British Museum, if you
shall have fine examples
in stock. But, let it be
clearly understood in this as
well as in all future Trans-
actions between us, that the
specimens must be such as
have been killed in a wild
stare, and not mena? - speci-
mens of which we have already
too many; and further, that
they must be perfect. If you
should not have specimens
of this superior kind in hand,
I rather wait; on the other
hand you will /// find me
? to give liberal prices.
I am anxious that I should
receive as many of the specimens
enumerated in the list, as you
can send, before the end of
February as I wish to pay
your bill out of the funds of
our present financial year
which ends in the month of
March. And I request you to
inform me at your earliest
convenience, when & to what
extant you will be able to
execute my order.
All the boxes in which you
send specimens for the British
Museum, should be addressed
thus:
The Principal Librarian
British Museum
Contents: Zool. Dept.
London
We possess already a suffi-
cient number of the more
interesting species as well
as of the common ones.
Perhaps, you can get a copy
of my "Catalogue of the Fishes
in the British Museum"
(8 volumes) from which you
could easily see what species
we possess already. I do not
care whether the specimens
you send, are named or not,
provided that the exact locality
is known where they have
been obtained. Of large species
I wish large specimens, up to
2 feet in ?, beyond that
in skins fit for stuffing.
Please
Please let me know what
your prices would be for
such specimens.
I want Freshwater fish
only not marine species.
I remain
Yours Truly
A. Gunther,
Keeper of the Zoolog. Dept.

Henry Augustus Ward Papers
A.W23
From 1862 to 1906, Ward’s Natural Science Establishment supplied specimens to natural science museums around the world. The goal of this project is to enable scientists, historians, and archivists to recreate Ward’s inventory by linking 19th century materials and documents at their institutions to the original catalogues, bulletins, and manuscripts.
Original line breaks, punctuation, abbreviations and spelling have been preserved
in the transcriptions and underlining and strikethroughs have been encoded.
Marginalia associated with a photograph or other ephemera has been transcribed
and associated with that object. Other marginalia is tagged "caption" at the
beginning of the relevant date's entry. Words or phrases deemed indecipherable
have been noted as "illegible." Nontextual original content, e.g. drawings and
diagrams, have been noted as such. Images of the original diary pages are
provided to show the creator’s original page layout and placement of
additions.

Dear Sir
I have to acknowledge
the receipt of a bill for
£20 on account for which
I thank you
I am disappointed in the size of the Hatteria.I understood from Prof. Ward'sletter that they were to be
full grown whereas 3 ofthem are not half the sizeto some I had a few yearsago + the other 3 are notmuch larger than the 3 smallones. I ought certainly to havehad larger specimens for theprice. The small [Amia?] is quite rotten inside + no use to me.
Have you received the last lot of birds sent
through Mr. Gregory + doyou know if Profr Ward is likely to come through Londonas the shortest way to Rochester.
I am
Yours truly
Edwd Gerrard, Jr.
