THE HUMMING BIRD. 



\Tune i, 1891 



"Who can deny that the greatest part of the revenues 

 of all Governments is due to those learned men who 

 have dedicated themselves to this science ? 



Cotton, Tobacco, Potatoes, Coffee, Tea, Indigo, 

 Cochineal, Silk are all products of nature, and some 

 travellers (mostly naturalists) are those who have 

 been to search for them, sometimes at very remote 

 countries at the cost of their lives, to try their ac- 

 climatation in their own country or to make known 

 their value and their goodness. 



Much has been done ; but the field of explorations 

 is still very large, and many Centuries will pass 

 before it is drained. 



Therefore, every one must work boldly and 

 encourage every where these studies which are un- 

 happily too much neglected at the present time. 



For that it is necessary that all those, who have 

 zoological richfs accumulated, give their duplicates 

 to scientific Institutions or to young and poor 

 amateurs, or dispose of them at very low prices acces- 

 sible to every one. 



It is also necessary that all the Governments 

 should cive important prizes and rewards to all those 

 who make new discoveries useful to their country, 

 and encourage by all means the study of this science 

 which is sure to produce fruitful results to the benefit 

 of Humanity.
