The difference between this bird and that described under the name of Picus tridactylus was unknown to me until clearly pointed out by the minute and accurate description of Mr. SWAINSON in the Fauna Boreali-Americana . I think against this rubric , most of the specific issues important to me can be evaluated . But , as I said , I was in amaze , and the next I knew was the pang of the entering steel as this clumsy provincial ran me through and charged forward , bull-like , till his hilt bruised my side and I was borne backward . I suppose for me it has come down to trying to choose an approach which will , on balance , result in an overall benefit ( however miniscule my individual contribution will be ) for the ordinary people of Burma . Nevertheless , a number of students took me seriously and remarked in feedback that they lost faith in me as an instructor as a result of that .
