(Treasure chest ser.) llmin 16-sd-$30 1940 Skibo 598.2 p-el-jh-sh-c-adult Produced by Educational pictures "A study of gannets on the Grassholm Island sanctuary off the Welsh coast. The commentary was written by Julian Huxley. "The picture opens with a map of the British Isles indicating the position of Grass- holm Island. The map fades out, giving place to an aerial view of the island. We see thousands of birds. Close-ups ... of the gan- net . . . birds nesting, and a gannet courtship. "A sea gull steals an egg from a gannet's nest. . . A weak, black chick is hatched; soon he is downy and stronger. A sequence on feeding. "A short distance from Grassholm is Bachelor's Island where the non-breeding birds congregate. A very comprehensive sequence shows these birds in flight, soaring, diving into the sea. Many of these shots are repeated in slow-motion. "An excellent picture. Should be valuable for biology classes in junior and senior high schools. Students at aerodynamics in gen- eral science and art courses will be interested in the slow-motion pictures of flight. Highly recommended for college courses in orni- thology." Advisory committee "One of the most beautiful and fascin- ating stories of natural life photographed in black and white. The Gannet, or Solan Goose, the streamlined bird of singular beauty is pictured in rare artistic photography." A.A.

"The photography appears dark in spots and in other places it is rather hazy. The color is beautiful, but fades in places. Too much irrelevant material." California "The color in this beautiful film ... is outstanding. . . Highly recommended for nature groups and science groups studying birds." Committee on classroom films ROBIN RED BREAST.
