A View of Heligoland. 
HIS little rocky island in the North Sea has been described by Dr. Etiiorr Cours as 
the “magnetic pole of the bird-world.’’ Although only a little over a mile in length, 
and bare except for the green turf, it is the most wonderful Ornithological observatory known. 
Herr Giitke’s publication of the results of his studies of bird migration at this favored spot 
during the last fifty years lend a renewed interest to Heligoland.
