=NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY.=

All Naturalists who wish to take up this fascinating and valuable art are invited to communicate with =Messrs. J. H. DALLMEYER, Limited=, who have supplied complete outfits or Lenses to nearly all the leading experts in this branch, and are therefore peculiarly qualified to give advice, and to make or select apparatus according to the requirements of each individual case. In no branch of photography is the choice of apparatus more difficult to the uninitiated, as it is quite possible to acquire the most perfect and costly outfit, and to find it of little practical application for the special work for which it was procured.

Among the leading instruments we may mention:-

=THE PARALLEL BELLOWS= Camera, with Stigmatic Lens and Silent Shutter, as used by Messrs. R. and C. KEARTON and many other eminent naturalists.

=THE NATURALISTS’ CAMERA.=--The only successful Telephoto Camera for Nature work. New Model, with full-sized finder, in preparation.

=THE PACKARD-IDEAL= Shutters.--The best Time shutter on the market.

=THE ADON.=--An excellent little Telephoto lens for Nests, etc., in inaccessible places.

=RAPID TELEPHOTO= Lenses for moving objects.

=THE STIGMATIC LENSES= for all-round work.

=PATENT GROUP LENSES=, Series D. These are invaluable for very rapid exposures of distant animals or birds. They work at F/6, and on small plates give crisper images than any anastigmats.
