Regarding a bill to create a Biological Survey of Ohio, 
I want to say that I am thoroughly in favor of the estab¬ 
lishment of such an organization. 1 believe it to be ca¬ 
pable of yielding a most valuable service to the state 
many fold its cost.

I have your letter in reference to the bill for Natural 
History Survey; it certainly is a good thing. I will 
write to our representative and use my mite of influence 
in its behalf.

I note with interest your note in the last issue of the 
Ohio Naturalist regarding the bill now before your 
legislature to establish a State Natural History^ Survey. 
Although I could not possibly have any influence in 
bringing about the consummation of such a desirable 
project, I cannot refrain from expressing to you my sin¬ 
cere hope that the bill will pass. There is such a vast 
amount of biological work which can be done in almost 
any state which is of both public and scientific interest 
and which still does not go strictly within the province 
of experiment station work, that it seems to me that 
such an undertaking would be profitable for any state, 
and I should like to see Ohio, which is so close to On¬ 
tario, make a start in this direction.
