Dr. Charles William Beebe, who has sailed frpm New York for Georgetown, British Guiana, to establish a tropical zoological station for a now form of scientific observation and research, l;as been curator ot ornithology, New York Zoological Society, since 1809. fn the words of Dr. Beebe, "as yet there.has been no concentrated scientific investigation in the tropics. The object of previous expeditions has been to collect as many birds or animals as possible." "Our province is, the living creature," says Dr. Beebe. The Government of British Guiana has offered the use of it's Botanical Gardens to the expedition. The amount of work to bo done is enormous— enough to keep ten men working their life long, it is declared. An earlier stay in Guiana and Venezuela is recorded in Dr. Beebo's book, " Our Search for Wilderness." And the study of tho pheasant led him in 1909 to India, Ceylon, Tibet, and the Himalayas, China, Borneo, Java, and Japan.'
