me that several species which used to be
easy to obtain are now difficult and proba-

Ing the same road. As for minerals, mines
shut down, districts peter OUT and collee-
tions once made can never be duplicated.
A good scientific collection of native woods
is always worth money. Some of the best
collections of shells in the world have been
made on this Coast being completed. of
course. by the exchange system. In this
line a collector tells me that perfect speci-
mems of even such once common shells as
the abalone are becoming scarce.
The great advantage about collections of
the outdoor sort, such as those illustrative
of botany, natural history or geology. is
that the climate encourages the city-dweller
to spend his vacation in such ways as these.
Once begun, collection always grows; it
becomes a passion and delight; it saves
many a man from overwork and many
boy from going to the bad. If the coming
summer should witness the beginnings of
thousand new outdoor collections, it would
be so much the better for California.
