Excerpt from Wings: Insects, Birds, Men

As the preparation of the material for the press draws to a close, acknowledgment is made of the help of many friends who, wit tingly and unwittingly, have contributed to the enterprise, and to the librarians who have ably rendered professional service. Especial thanks are due to Clarence J. Goodnight, Associate Professor of Zoology at Purdue University, for having read the manuscript and made valuable suggestions for the sections on insects and birds, and to Guy A. Wainwright, who rendered the same service for the sec tion on human ﬂight. Above all there remains to be expressed gratitude for and indebtedness to the great naturalists of the past and present whose research has opened up the trails through the vast territory of Natural Science and whose published records have made their findings available for our enlightenment and enjoyment.
