John Daniel, of enduring memory and valuable remains, has been 

 mounted and favorably passed upon in his new aspect by various ex- 

 perts, w^ho seem agreed that he looks "so natural." He will probably

Dr. Fisher, again this year, during July and August, conducted 

 nature study work in Camp Wigw^am, near Harrison, Maine. Especial 

 attention was paid to birds, wild flowers and trees. Mammals, insects 

 and other subjects, however, w^ere also studied. Dr. Fisher has con- 

 ducted courses in bird study in the Universities of Florida and Tennessee, 

 2nd in the Marine Biological Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor, Long 

 Island. At none of these three places have more than about .50 or 60 

 nesting birds been found; but in Alaine, during this summer and last, 

 Dr. Fisher observed 83 species of nesting birds. 



One of the activities of the boys in the camp which maintained a 

 high degree of interest was the keeping of animals (snakes, turtles and 

 fur-bearing animals) in temporary captivity. 



Dr. Fisher made a great many motion and still pictures of birds and 

 animals, which will be used in the educational work of the Museum.
