NATURAL HISTORY 
NOTES 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 ) 
Watch him closely some summer morn- 
ing at dawn as he sits chewing a piece 
of clover on your lawn, his big wide- 
awake eyes, his long ears cocked one this 
way, one the other, and his nose also on 
the alert. 
Having accumulated as much informa- 
tion as he cares for, the rabbit’s big hind 
legs (which account for half his odd ap- 
pearance) are ready to impel him in any 
direction, or for that matter in several 
directions, one after the other. Other 
leaping animals, like the kangaroo, have 
a long tail which, doubtless, helps to 
steady them in straight away work, but 
the rabbit is unencumbered by any such 
paraphernalia. His posterior parts are 
for jumping in the abstract, the nature 
and direction ,f each jump to be deter- 
mined by his particular needs at the 
time when it is made. — J. T. N. 
BRITISH CANOE ASSOCIATION 
To the Editor of Forest and Stream: 
I BELIEVE it will be of interest to 
canoeists and boating men in general 
in America to hear of the revival of the 
British Canoe Association which is being 
very vigorously proceeded with. 
As doubtlessly the case in America, 
there is now a real revival of interest in 
canoeing and out-of-door life, and our 
great endeavors is to encourage and 
foster this in every way. 
Not enjoying the fine facilities of 
America the sport had languished here 
somewhat prior to the war, but now the 
outlook is a very different one. Before 
very long we hope to have the pleasure 
of a canoe cruise in the States. 
It will always be a great pleasure to 
hear from American well-wishers and 
supporters particularly now at the out- 
set. 
American canoeists visiting Great 
Britain can depend on a warm welcome 
and every assistance. 
To still farther our common aims we 
are about to produce an attractive illus- 
trated cruising and canoeing journal on 
up-to-date lines in which besides the 
Continental news we hope to make Amer- 
ican notes a special feature. For this 
purpose the editor will welcome contri- 
butions, canoeing stories, cruises, club 
notes, etc., as well as subscribers. For 
the same purpose and also for the Cruis- 
ing and Canoeing Bibliography in pro- 
cess of compilation, sending of canoe 
and cruising literature, magazines and 
cuttings will be gratefully received. 
With best wishes and hearty greetings 
from the enthusiastic canoeists of the Old 
World to their canoeing cousins of the 
New.
