D. I. Shepardson 



Mr. D. L Shepardson of Los Angeles, 

 California, died of the "Flu" at his 

 home January 2nd, 1919 and we have 

 just received word of this fact. 



In the death of Mr. Shepardson, 

 the Oologist loses a staunch support- 

 er and its Editor a highly valued per- 

 sonal friend. During our many visits 

 to the state of California we have fre- 

 quently met Mr. Shepardson and no- 

 body in that Golden State has treated 

 us with more courtesy. Numbers of 

 days spent with Mr. Shepardson in 

 the field in that locality will remain 

 always a cherished memory. We 

 found him an enthusiastic, capable, 

 energetic and thoroughly reliable 

 field man, as well as a splendid as- 

 sociate and an entertaining conver- 

 sationalist and a widely read young 

 man whose death we have no doubt 

 will be sincerely mourned by a large 

 circle of friends. We well recollect 

 the kindness extended by Mr. Shep- 

 ardson to the Editor while lying in a 

 hospital at Los Angeles. It is truly 

 sad to have to record his demise. 



^-Editor.
