The "Research" Expedition had Lots of Equipment 



The moving pictures were also used on the bird life, the 

 blue hercn and the mergansers, for instance. The mergan- 

 sers, commonly known as the fish duck, proved particularly 

 interesting for this work. 



Views of camp life, portaging, rapids, etc., typical of the 

 wild part of the state where the camps were pitched were 

 obtained. 



Those who Made up the Party. 



During the first summer the party consisted of Professor 

 Johnson, Harold Hanson, his assistant, and a taxidermist from 

 the Field Museum in Chicago. Before the summer ended the 

 taxidermist was obliged to leave the party. This last summer 

 the party consisted of Professor Johnson, Harold Hanson, and 

 Roy N. Chapman, the two latter assistants in the biology de- 

 partment at the university.
