persistently followed up birds until he was satisfied as to their identity and often finally would enter his record with notes or a question mark. Knowledge of his death, which occurred near Salinas I believe, came as a personal matter. My experiences with him afield were always filled with real sport and usually some rewarding record. That part of his small but thoroughly used library of bird and, to a very small extent, botanical books which escaped the hasty sale made by his aunt came to my possession and now forms a part of my own library.
