Mr. E. F. Lorquin, who will present this note to you has a fine collection of California birds which he is anxious to dispose of at a very reasonable rate.

Mr. Lorquin is an excellent taxidermist and has a good knowledge of ornithology; and I consider this a good opportunity to obtain material which will be of great value in your museum
