1921] POPE, COLLECTING FOR A GROUP OF WISCONSIN POND LIFE. 45 



At the end of our short journey, we arrived at the Indian School 

 grounds at Keshena and were very courteously received by Mr. Edgar A. 

 Allen, Superintendent of the Reservation, who assigned us two very 

 comfortable rooms in the club house on the school grounds. Thus we 

 were settled for the summer, a settlement which was found good in the 

 estimation of Mr. Tyrrell, who, from long experience at Chicago and 

 Woods Hole, wisely appraised the place for its culinary virtues. 



In this connection we would like to express our sincere thanks and 

 appreciation to the several officials at Keshena, who made the summer's

work of the Department so extremely pleasant and who contributed not

A reconnaissance of the nearby vicinity was conducted during the 

 following two days, with the result that several suitable working sites 

 were selected, giving in the aggregate excellent series of zoological and 

 botanical life, necessary for the proposed habitat group and offering 

 choice background and other features. Incidentally, during the days of 

 reconnaissance, various desirable insects were collected and compli- 

 mentary fishing licenses were secured through the kindness of the Super- 

 intendent of the Reservation.
