DOZEN years ago, in an essay entitled A Re-Examination of Thoreau's 'Walden,' Edward S. Deevey, Jr., wrote (1942:8) that Thoreau may with justice be called the first American limnologist and commented on his independent but antedated discovery of thermal stratification. More recently, Philip and Kathryn Whitford have written (1951:291-296) in Thoreau: Pioneer Ecologist and Conservationist an authoritative account of Thoreau as a true scientist in the modern sense of the term.
