 Columbus, O., Feb. 27, 1906 



Regarding a bill to create a Biological Survey of Ohio, 

 I want to say that I am thoroughly in favor of the estab- 

 lishment of such an organization. I believe it to be ca- 

 pable of 3^ielding a most valuable service to the state — 

 man}'^ fold its cost.

 Your favor of the 27th inst. at hand enclosing copy of 

 H. B. No. 363. I certainly approve of it and shall write 

 to our Assembly members asking for their support of it.

 I have 3"our letter in reference to the bill for Natural 

 History Survey; it certainly is a good thing. I will 

 write to our representative and use my mite of influence 

 in its behalf.

Guelph, Canada, March 3, 1906 

 I note with interest 3^our note in the last issue of the 

 Ohio Naturalist regarding the bill now before your 

 legislature to establish a State Natural History Survey. 

 Althougli I could not possibly have any influence in 

 bringing about the consummation of such a desirable 

 project, I cannot refrain from expressing to you n\y sin- 

 cere hope that the bill will pass. There is such a vast 

 amount of biological w^ork which can be done in almost 

 any state which is of both public and scientific interest 

 and which still does not go strictly within the province 

 of experiment station work, that it seems to me that 

 such an undertaking would be proiitable for any state, 

 and I should like to see Ohio, which is so close to On- 

 tario, make a start in this direction.
