    I have a male specimen

only of the </u Buceus rhuvocuos, > but the male and female differ very little and only in the coloring of the casque and mandable, the plumage is the same. The price of this skin is $12.

    Of the Red Necked Horn bill

(Rhyticues ruficollis) I have both male and female. The price of the male is $7. female $5. -

    If you are thinking of

a group similar to the one which we exhibited at the Worlds Fair, you should have </u both >. The female shut up in the hollow trunk of a tree with only the head showing, and the male sitting upon a branch outside. Yours very truly over. Frank A. Ward
