i83 THE BEAUTIFUL RETURNS NOT 



alas! the forces of brutality, the Caliban in man, 

 are proving too powerful; the lost species are lost 

 for all time, and a thousand years of the strictest 

 protection — a protection it would be impossible to 

 impose on a free people, Calibans or not — ^would not 

 restore the still existing bird life to the abundance 

 of half a century ago. 



The beautiful has vanished and returns not.
