1.   PART FIRST  (1898)  148 pages
Barbers' manual
PART SECOND
Text Book on taxidermy
By C. J McConnaughay

Preface*
By way of explaining the dual character of this little book, we here indulge a few brief introductory remarks.
Part First is designed simply as a manual of instruction for barbers, and we hope it will, in a valuable measure,
supply a long felt need. It will prove especially beneficial to the younger and less experienced members of our craft.

Part Second is devoted to taxidermy.
For twenty-three years I have connected with my other shop work. 1 have preserved and sold hundreds of
specimens, and this work has proven a source of much pleasure and profit, enabling me to turn many otherwise
idle moments into money.
On this line I have not confined myself to taxidermic work alone, but have also connected the tanning of hides
with the hair on, which I have manufactured
into mats, rugs, etc..

3. New uses of celluloid and similar material in taxidermy (1925)  46 pages

By  Leon L. Walters Taxidermist, Division of Reptiles

The present paper deals especially with the correlation of form
and color in making replicas of natural objects. When this was
first put into practice, in preparing small reptiles, celluloid was used as
a medium in conjunction with pigment. The process has become rather
generally known as "the celluloid process," although, strictly speaking,
celluloid is only one of various materials that have been employed.

TAXIDERMY: OF, THE ART  OF COLLECTING, PREPARING,
AND
MOUNTING OBJECTS OF NATURAL HISTORY.
FOR THE USE OF MUSEUMS & TRAVELLERS
WITH PLATES.
LONDON:

Some persons struck by the appearance of these animals, tried to skin indigenous birds, and to
mount them. They succeeded indifferently; the body was too forward, and the thighs came beyond
the rump. It may be well to observe, that this fault always happens to those who mount a bird
for the first time, even if they have received proper
instructions.
Schceffer succeeded to these.

By C. J. MAYNARD.

WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY E. L. WEEKS.

The great need of a good illustrated work to guide young naturalists in collecting and preserving objects of
natural history has induced me to prepare the present Manual. In this attempt I hope I have been in some
degree successful. I have spared no pains to bring together, in a comprehensive form, the results of many years
of experience in collecting and preserving objects of natural
history, both for private cabinets and for scientific
museums.
