THE defenders of wild life will perpetually bear 

 in grateful memory their good friend, Mr. John 

 D. Archbold. His ardent love of Nature, and his 

 keen interest in living birds and mammals, prompted 

 bis cooperation in tbe development of tbe Zoological 

 Park and tbe Permanent Wild Life Protection Fund. 

 His belp always was extended quickly and gener- 

 ously, and witb sucb kind words of approval and 

 encouragement tbat tbe recipient cause was botb 

 aided and inspired. 



Mr. Arcbbold did far more for tbe benefit of 

 bumanity at large tban tbe public knew, or ever will 

 know. He was particularly gifted in helping at 

 critical moments, when help was most urgently 

 needed. His passing was a great loss to the cause of 

 popular zoology, and the general cause of wild life 

 protection and increase. 



But his influence passes not. His legacy of in- 

 terest in wild life will live and work through many 

 generations or men and women, of boys and girls, 

 who will strive and continue to strive in the defense 

 of the wild creatures who can not defend themselves 

 against their "civilized enemies.
