a week longer. Messrs </s Lucas >, Staebner & DeKempeneer start tomorrow morning for a week's trip down the St. Lawrence. Mr. Hornaday has finished little Ele- phant and is on Giant Armadillo. Webster is on (male) & William on (female) Mt. Goat. Wood is away this week - sick. Charles is working quite steadily this week. Bailly is mounting Gavial skeleton and Gueret a camel.
