 travelling overland from Bowie. where
 Professor Snyder left him and Ivan Johnson. a High school senior who accompanied the professors.
 While crossing the, San Francisco river at Bowie, one of the horses drawing the prairie ship was injured
 in the treacherous sands of the river and the progress of the party was
 halted. Professor Snyder took the
 train at Bowie and arriving here sent a fresh horse to Gooding.
 The party left Bisbee shortly after the close of school in June and spent the entire summer in the mountains
 both for purposes of recreation and research in ornithology and botany. One shipment of botany specimens has already arrived. consisting of sev- eral crates of rare plants. herbs, etc. These will be used in the botanical laboratory Of the high school.
 Gooding High Authority
 It is said that Professor Gooding, who is reputed to be one of the high. est authorities on western plant life in the country, will in conjunction with professor of botany at the Un- iyersity of Wyoming, write book on the plant life of the southwest.
 In doing this work they are under a lrN NFanF e-eH ls,UNg a- ing the work of pioneers as there is at present no such work in existence. An effort made to secure such a work at the CoppeI Queen library was fruit less and there was no record tbere that there is such a book.
 To complete such a task requires years of patient work and accurate re- suits, as science is nothing if not ac- curate. Professor Gooding has been this work for several years and soon after his return to Bisbee he will deliver an illustrated lecture at the Methodist church on the plant life Of Yellowstone park. of which he made an exhaustive study several years ago.
 On the trip from which he IS re. Professor Gooding discovered many rare plants not listed in botany text books and much interesting data l, regarding the plant life of Arizona. It Is noted parenthetically that Profes- sor Gooding's reputation in this line of work is not confined to the United States, as he has sent many unusual plants to the laboratories of the great Of Europe But for the act that he is engaged in the great ! ask of listing the plant life of the i ;reat southwest, more dignitied and compensatory duties would long ago lave drafted his talents.

 Arizona Bird Life
 With the assistance of Professor snyder, Professor Gooding also se- 'ured a number of birds which will 'e used in laboratory work. Some 'eople have an idea" said Professor Snyder, that there are no. or. few 'irds in Arizona, but ! believe that here are more than in the east and ome Of them are very rare and beau ifuL These will not be mounted, as hey will be handled freely in class york, but they have been prepared so hat they will be preserved"
 Professor Snyder is particularly .n- crested in ornithoiogy, the study of irds. and has promised The Review hat as soon as he has had time to his notes he will write for this paper on his study { Arizona birds on his trip to the White mountains.
