THE AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION

Report of Chapter No. 1035, Green- 

 wich, Connecticut. 

 My dear Mr. Bigelow : 



We have sent you our picture and 

 will now tell you a little of what we 

 have been doing as an Agassiz Chapter. 



Every week one period of our school 

 time is devoted to nature study which 

 is planned for us by our teacher. ( )nce 

 in a while we have a business meeting 

 at this time. Whenever we bring in spe- 



of our schoolroom window and found 

 that the first noticeable change of 

 color was about March 1st. This was 

 one of the things you suggested that 

 we investigate. 



Those who went to Sound IJeach last 

 week were sorry that you were not 

 there but we enjoyed the trip and hope 

 to go again some day 



Yours sincerely, 

 Francis Launders, Secretary.

cimens we identify and classify them 

 if we can and make dated record in a 

 book which we keep for that purpose. 

 We have had a variety of things 

 brought in ; a muskrat's skull, minerals, 

 birds eggs, a rhinoceros beetle, butter- 

 fly chrysalids and moth cocoons, 

 flowers, specimens of different kinds of 

 woods, leaves and shells. 



A little while ago a Polvphemus 

 moth came out of its cocoon in school 

 time and we all watched it unfold its 

 wings and develop. It began about 

 9.30 A. M., and by noon time it was 

 full grow/n and lively and had laid 

 dozens of eggs on the inside edges of 

 its box when we thought it must need 

 a rest so we "etherized" it for our col- 

 lection. 



We watched a willow tree in sight 



A Member Desiring to Exchange and 

 to Correspond With Others. 



Rowe, Massachusetts. 

 To The AA : 



Please publish as soon as possible, in 

 The Guide To Nature, a notice to the 

 effedt that I shall be glad to correspond 

 with and exchange with Members or 

 Chapters interested in mineralogy and 

 botany. Also, if you see fit, you may 

 mention that I will exchange photo 

 view post cards. I hope that you will 

 publish this in the May number if pos- 

 sible, because I do not wish to wait till 

 the last of June to start in. Would it 

 not be a good idea to write a short ar- 

 ticle, inviting Members and Chapters 

 to send in their names to be published 

 in such manner? I am sure that there 

 are many nature lovers who live in
