rHE FLORAL EMBLEM OF THE AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION 33 
The Floral Emblem of The Agassiz 
Association. 
We gratefully acknowledge the kind- 
ness of “Photo-Era” of Boston, Massa- 
chusetts, in lending us the cut of the 
Dr. Shufeldt Nature Teacher. 
We are pleased to note that Dr. R. 
W. Shufeldt, well and favorably known 
to our readers from his many interest- 
ing contributions to this magazine, has 
wonderfully beautiful, expressive and 
dreamy photograph of white water 
lilies. This is indeed one of the finest 
portrayals of this beautiful flower that 
we have ever seen. The hazy back- 
ground and the sharp foreground form 
a combination that gives all the 
photographic effect that can be desired. 
Have any of our camerists tried to 
photograph this wonderfully beautiful 
plant ? 
been assigned as nature study teacher 
in the Summer School of the George 
Washington Universitv, Washington, 
D. C. 
Dr. Shufeldt is undoubtedly stirring 
up much interest among the students. 
Oxford University is organizing an 
expedition to Spitzbergen to cost about 
fifteen thousand dollars.
