EPA CIMeAGN) Gi oa P ReliGr Ee Luis Th 
Fellow Bird-Men: 
To faithfully reproduce 
the delightful glimpses every Ornithologist 
has of birds in the field; to artfully ideal- 
ize the bird without neglecting its scient- 
ific structure and color; to portray the 
living bird in its most natural and there- 
fore most charming aspects --- to these 
tasks have I set my hand and brush. 
Very truly yours, 
GEORGE MIKSCH SUTTON, 
Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh.
