To those who are ambitious enough to wish to 

 use their cameras on the cliff breeders I am very 



much afraid 

 I can give no 

 directions, as 

 I will freely 

 confess to 

 never having 

 done any of 

 it ; and my 

 desire to dan- 

 dle at the end 

 of a rope over 

 a hundred 

 feet or more 

 of empty space is, I fear, not great enough ever to 

 lead me to attempt it. The Kearton brothers of 

 England have, however, done much of it and, 

 through their utter fearlessness, have accom- 

 plished some wonderful results. Their methods 

 are all fully described in their admirable book, 

 " Wild Life at Home," and should any one desire 

 to emulate them, I should advise him to obtain 

 this book.
