    regions . There are 13 heads of moose deer , a grand head of the musk ox , 12 caribou ,

    half a dozen mountain-goat , bison , and bear . A musk ox skeleton is undergoing preparation

    , and one or two other specimens are still in the naturalist ' s hands . The birds , of which

    there are nearly 500 specimens , include all the principal representatives of the feathered race which are to be found in northern

    latitudes , from small finches to the golden eagle . Here is a pen-and-ink portrait of William
