BITS BY POND, RIVER, AND SEASHORE. 183 



to a close I feel that I have only touched the fringe 

 of a great and fascinating subject, yet I hope that 

 my brother and I may have achieved sufficient to 

 send young men and maidens out into the fields 

 with cameras to study the wild life of this and 

 other lands for themselves. If they go and work 

 with care and patience I am quite sure they will 

 add greatly to their own store of knowledge and 

 health, and in all probability obtian many interesting 

 facts and authentic pictures for the benefit and 

 pleasure of mankind at large. In any case they 

 will always have our sympathy and, when they 

 ask it, our best advice.
