Frank M. Chapman would like to show President Roosevelt slides of the pictures of birds he took on Pelican Island last March. He suggests going to Oyster Bay when Roosevelt returns there. He believes the pictures will illustrate how naturalists are making “permanent, graphic records of natural history facts in demonstrable form.” Chapman also discusses a new Biograph camera, which may be useful for Roosevelt to take on his trip to Africa to photograph wildlife.
