"The picture opens with a map of the British Isles indicating the position of Grassholm Island. The map fades out, giving place to an aerial view of the island. We see thousands of birds. Close-ups ... of the gannet . . . 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 p}cture. Should be valuable for biology classes in junior and senior high schools. Students at aerodynamics in general science and art courses will be interested in the slow-motion pictures of flight. Highly recommended for college courses in ornithology." Advisory committee 215
