braska Experimental (sub-station at North Platte," by Wilson Tout. 

 A review of the occurrences of the Eskimo Curlew is followed by 

 the cheering statement that "Although the Eskimo Curlew is re- 

 duced to the point of extinction, it is probably not yet absolutely 

 extinct." This species and the Trumpeter Swan seem to be the 

 species which are doomed to extinction even before some others 

 which it was thought would disappear before them. l. j.
