regard the remains as a portion of the head of a whale. On pages
304-307 of the April number of _The American Naturalist_ is a
very full discussion of the subject by Professor A.E. Verrill,
of Yale College. This may be of interest to you.

Yours respectfully,
GEORGE E. MERRILL,
Acting Executive Curator.
WASHINGTON, April 9th, 1897.

Who is Collecting Monograms?

* * * * *

We have been asked by so many of our boys and girls for monograms, that we
have had collections made of some of the prettiest, and can now send them
to any address, postage paid, upon receipt of the price.

The safest ways to remit are by registered letter or postal note.
