Herold is a poet, and an artist of some merit, and he is, generally 
speaking, a decidedly well-informed person. One cannot but hope these 
Birds of Paradise will continue to thrive in Little Tobago, and thus 
justify- the tremendously expensive " hobby " of Sir ^^'illiam Ingram in 
bringing them to this spot, and that they will gradually perpetuate their 
speciea and increase steadily in numbers as time goes on. Such, any- 
way, is the sincere and humble wish of the two privileged visitors to the 
island on Tuesday, the 21st July I'Jl-t. We also desire to thank ^Vlr. 
H. H. Tucker very sinecrcl}' for s(j readily allowing us to go over Little 
Tobago once he learned of our wish to see this interesting island, and 
also for placing the boat at our service for the occasion."
