302 NATURE-STUDY REVIEW 



Henry Klein is a young man living in Brooklyn, N. Y., he is a 

 graduate of Cornell. As a writer he is insatiable in seeking informa- 

 tion concerning his topics in which he is always deeply interested. 

 Although practical considerations call him to the world of business 

 he still adheres to his ideal of becoming a writer and we hope he 

 will contribute to the Review for years to come. 



Amelia J. Calver is a beautiful, serene member of the Shaker 

 Colony at Mount Lebanon, N. Y. She has always loved her 

 Nature surroundings and finds the most perfect companionship in 

 the woods and fields. She has written for the Review in other 

 years and we have rarely met a more sympathetic observer or a 

 more broadminded, interesting woman than is she. 



Professor W. P. Alexander is connected with the Buffalo Museum 

 of Natural History as a leader of field trips and an instructor in 

 museum classes. Some years ago he was an assistant to the edi- 

 tor in givinp^ instruction to her classes at Cornell, and he later con- 

 ducted the classes in the Nature-Study of the Farm at Cornell. 

 He is a man of great cordiality and personal charm, a naturalist, 

 a poet and a musician. He has for many years been a generous 

 contributor to the Review. 



Robert Sparks Walker lives in Chattanooga, Tenn. He gradua- 

 ted first from Maryville, Tenn. College and later received a de- 

 gree of LLB. at the University of Chattanooga. He has been the 

 editor of The Southern Fruit Grower since 1900 and is an active 

 member of many horticultural societies. He is a contributor to 

 Country Life in America, the Ladies Home Journal, the Youth's 

 Companion and many other periodicals. We are glad to say that 

 he is also a lecturer in Nature-Study and has directed the making of 

 moving pictures of insects, spiders, plants and birds. He loves 

 the wild flowers and is a very acute observer of their forms and 

 habits and has the happy faculty of putting his observations into 

 verse. 



I. R. is a Professor of Biology in a college and declines to s'gn 

 her or his full name, for fear of being regarded as frivolous, in this 

 delightful discussion of a scientific fact in verse.
