.Roosevelt, in a tribute to his mem
ory today declared*: "He was a
born naturalist, who knew the ani

do."
Mr. Burroughs said the colonel
and he had made frequent trips to
gether in the woods and fields, and
told row, once, at Pine Knot, Va.,
the colonel identified more than 80
species of birds and fowl, including
two nen birds, Berwick's wren and
a rars warbler, unknown even to his

crushing blows. It was almost im
possible to deceive him on subjects
of natural history."
