Abstract
BY the laymah the preservation of the flora and fauna is too often regarded as the concern of the man of science alone, since the contribution that the wild plant and animal life make to his enjoyment is either entirely unapprehended or only vaguely appreciated A wider knowledge by the general public the nature and diversities of wild life would do much to inculcate a realization of the part which Nature plays in providing the æsthetic enjoyment of the many who have little or no technical appreciation.
