  to 
  believe 
  that 
  a 
  careful 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  smaller 
  and 
  more 
  isolated 
  islands 
  

   would 
  be 
  productive 
  of 
  imi)ortaut 
  results. 
  

  

  The 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  relationship 
  between 
  species 
  formation 
  and 
  envi- 
  

   ronment 
  is 
  in 
  its 
  infancy. 
  ]Much 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  hoped 
  from 
  it, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  com- 
  

   forting 
  to 
  reflect 
  that 
  sooner 
  or 
  later 
  tlie 
  supply 
  of 
  '"new 
  species" 
  will 
  

   be 
  exhausted, 
  and 
  ornithologists 
  will 
  have 
  time 
  to 
  learn 
  more 
  about 
  old 
  

   ones. 
  

  

  Were 
  some 
  competent 
  naturalist 
  to 
  go 
  to 
  the 
  Philippines 
  with 
  an 
  

   abundance 
  of 
  time 
  before 
  him 
  and 
  sufficient 
  funds 
  behind 
  him 
  to 
  allow 
  

   of 
  his 
  carrying 
  on 
  his 
  work 
  upon 
  a 
  broad 
  scale; 
  were 
  he 
  free 
  from 
  the 
  

   necessity 
  of 
  turning 
  out 
  about 
  so 
  many 
  bird 
  skins 
  a 
  month, 
  and 
  of 
  

   discovering 
  his 
  (juota 
  of 
  new 
  species 
  each 
  year, 
  he 
  might 
  in 
  due 
  time 
  

   make 
  a 
  contribution 
  of 
  far-reaching 
  importance 
  to 
  scientific 
  ornithology, 
  

   and 
  to 
  our 
  knowledge 
  of 
  island 
  life 
  in 
  general.
