TWO DAYS WITH TUli TERNS 127 



whose record as a Tern protector does not invite onr 

 confidence, but a society of bird lovers — tlie Nuttall 

 Club of Cambridge, or the Audubon Society of Mas- 

 sachusetts. Would it not be a fitting act for one of 

 these organizations to ask from Avoman, the Tern's 

 chief enemy, contributions to a fund for the pur- 

 chase of an asylum for her victims. Cfi.n no one so 

 plead the Terns' cause that many a feather-bedecked 

 woman will be glad to send her conscience money 

 to aid in securing their protection ? 



But in addition to being a home of the birds, 

 Penikese has other claims upon Nature lovers. 

 Here Agassiz, through the medium of his summer 

 school, brought his impils into direct contact with 

 Nature, and the scene of his labors is fraught with 

 associations to every one familiar with the inspiring 

 history of his life. Let us keep this island sacred to 

 his memory and the Terns.
