Note F — Front matter (continued 4)

From a leaflet prepared under the initiative of Mr. Witmer Stone, Conservator Ornithological Section, Acad. Nat. Sci., Philadelphia. These "hints" are addressed to students who desire to become scientific ornithologists and to whom specimens are a necessity. They show, however, how few specimens are required, and how much more there is to learn from living birds than from dead ones.
