Abstract
WILL you give me the opportunity of making a request through your columns to museum curators and African sportsmen? I am especially anxious to obtain for study, preserved in spirit or dry, the head (not the prepared skull) of a new-born giraffe or of a late f"tal individual in which the boney ossicusps of the horns are already formed. I should be able to return the specimen after examination to the owner if desired. I should be glad to examine several such heads were it possible to procure them. All expenses of transport would be paid by me. I venture to ask those who can help me to communicate with me without delay.
