interested in ornithology. In order to insure that these projects
can continue the George H. Lowery Memorial Fund has been
established in the form of an endowment. Hopefully, it will
become a source of enough annual interest to allow research by
staff and students of LSU Museum of Zoology to continue.
I received a letter from one of Dr. Lowery's students recently
that best summarizes 'the Doc's' effect on those who worked
closely with him. A quote from this letter goes:

BEACH CAMPING
Boats for campers vary and any type
you're comfortable in is fine as long as
it is suitable for the particular water
body you plan to travel.
A medium sized river can be
navigated in anything from the simple
bateau to a fancy fishing rig. Larger
boats such as Lafitte skiffs, sailboats,
or deep-sea vessels are safer in larger
rivers, lakes,

is
excellent for
shallow water.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Forecasting the weather is extra
important in beach camping because in
bad weather you don't want to be on or
near the water. Besides checking with
your weatherman before your camping
trip, there are several atmospheric
signs you can look for yourself to help
predict weather.

Next, you'll need to check your
equipment aboard your boat. Don't
forget to comply with Coast Guard
regulations on approved life jackets.
Make sure there is one for everyone on
board and that they are kept in a place
where they can be reached fast in case
of emergency.
In larger, open-water craft it is a
good idea to keep the following on
board: fire extinguisher, life-ring and
rope, bilge pump, anchor, and first-aid
kit (in addition to the one you have
packed with the camping gear). You
will need a tool set (including wrench,
pliers, and screwdrivers), spark plugs,

As in previous studies when such

4,100 tagged shrimp had been

Dear Frank,
I'm wondering if your Conservationist readers would help me with a
project we're working on?
The Alligator Snapper Society is
presently compiling shell and skull
measurements on the alligator snapping turtle. Would you run a request in
your next issue stating that we'd like to
hear from anyone catching a male
turtle over 100 pounds or a female over
50 pounds? We need the centerline
measurements lengths and widths
of the top shell and the skull.
In behalf of the society,
appreciate
Thank you,
