No. S G 79. Scrambled Eggs. One of those exasperating games that look so easy and prove so difficult.

New Tops or Joints.—When required, it is absolutely necessary that at least the joint into which the new part is to be fitted should accompany the order, as in its absence a new part cannot, under any circumstances, be supplied. If possible, it is more satisfactory to send the whole rod.
In Ordering Rods.—In addition to giving the Number and description, Customers are particularly requested to state the Length desired where various lengths are stocked.
Note.—Rods should never be allowed to remain in damp cases, nor the tops in damp Landing Handles. Carefully dry the rod with a soft cloth after use. A little dry soap rubbed on the ferrules before putting the rod together will ensure the joints coming apart easily. Vaseline and other lubricants should not be used.

HINTS TO NATURALISTS.
If Customers will observe the following simple directions in sending Specimens for preparation it will ensure them reaching us in good condition.
ANIMALS’ SKINS, if freshly taken off, should be laid out in the air (not in the sun) skin side up until they can be despatched to us, which should be done as quickly as possible. Fold the skin up hair outwards, with some straw or shavings between to prevent the skin coming together. If the weather is very hot sprinkle some salt on the skin as soon as it is taken off the animal. ALWAYS KEEP skins, heads, etc., as dry as possible.
FOX BRUSHES should have a tapered piece of stick inserted into them after the tail is drawn out.
DRESSING AND CURING.—Nearly all work in Natural History must be allowed a considerable time for drying, so that it is in most cases impossible to return Specimens in a few days.
The above are delivered Carriage Free, subject to the Conditions set forth on pages 3 and 4.
