I have examined the record of receipts and 

 expenditures of The Agassiz Association for 

 the year ending March 31, 1916, and have no 

 adverse criticism to ofifer. The expenditures 

 seem to have been made wisely and for the 

 hest interests of the Association,

Some Common Plant Families. A Botanical 

 Textbook, By WiUard N. Clute. Joliet 

 Illinois : Willard N. Clute & Company. 

 This is a convenient, interesting and elemen- 

 tary description of seme of the leading plant 

 families. As might be expected from what 

 we know of the author's literary skill and 

 botanical attainments so simple, plain and 

 lucid an essay as this is only what might be 

 anticipated. It is all <)f tlii- .iiid instructive. 



For 'Bird 



Lovers 



BAUSCH & LOME BINOCU- 

 LARS give a field of view nine times 

 as great as that of the ordinary glass, 

 with even illumination and clear 

 definition to the edges. The stereo- 

 scopic efifect enables one to judge the 

 relative position of objects in the 

 landscape. 



THE "6-21" is the ideal bird glass. 

 Its superior optical qualities give it 

 great light-gathering power — just 

 what you need in the woods and on 

 cloudy days. The magnification 

 (6x) is ample, and by reason of the 

 prism construction, the glass is 

 about one-third the length of a cor- 

 responding Galilean glass. Because 

 of its compactness and light weight 

 it can easily be carried in the pocket.
